It's good to interpret the Old Testament in the light of the New Testament.Hi Triumph...my opinion....well I will have to agree with farouk….the first man created was Adam....he was the 1st Adam and Jesus is the last Adam.
Yes I was in awe with how God in His infinite Wisdom knew that the door satan entered through (1st Adam) could not be left open....it had to be closed and it had to be reversed. God told satan that because he deceived woman and caused the curse of sin that He would use woman to destroy him.It's good to interpret the Old Testament in the light of the New Testament.

All very imaginative, but without a shred of biblical support.I believe there was a pre-Adamite world. I don't believe any humans were involved. As has been pointed out Adam was the first man. I believe certain beings did exist on this earth, of whom satan was over, as this was his area of rule before his fall.
Thus when satan rebelled, God shut the lights out, and submerged the earth in water, which is it's condition in (Gen. 1:2).
Here is what the Bible says in the Ten Commandments:
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. (Exodus 20:11).
Since the Ten Commandments were literally written with *the finger of God* we can rest assured that they cannot be false or misleading. If the LORD made (created) heaven and earth in the six days described in Genesis 1, then there can be no question that nothing existed before that time. Therefore there could not have been a Pre-Adamite earth.
As the posted article says: Christians today have no mandate from God to reinterpret His infallible Word to make it fit any current fallible atheistic human opinions.
This article has imposed the author's MISCONCEPTIONS on to the Bible text. And he is expecting to see perfection BEFORE God started doing His creative works! That would be like asking a sculptor to have a perfect sculpture before he even starts working on the clay!Pre-Adamic Creation
If God was *remaking* the earth, He would have said so in Exodus 20:11. But since He was creating the heavens and the earth and He said that He *made* everything in six days, your denial of God's truth is very revealing. In fact it undermines the Ten Commandments as well as the Genesis account!The six days of remaking the earth from the condition it was in after the war in heaven.
Cave men could have existed after the Flood, and dinosaurs could have been wiped out during the Flood of Noah.My answer would be yes, I have the "cave men" and Dinosaurs pre Adamic.

"But, in Genesis 1:2, the earth was an empty, chaotic [Tohuw] wasteland [Bohuw] in water [T@howm]. This is not perfection, but the opposite."
"Formless" means exactly what it says -- without form. And"empty" does NOT mean a chaotic wasteland at all. It simply means devoid of any form of life.
תֹ֙הוּ֙ to·hu = formless (while it can have other meanings, this is the correct one), and וָבֹ֔הוּ va·vo·hu or vabohu = empty. Therefore the MAJORITY of English translations have followed these meanings.

And there was no *war in heaven* at that time. God simply cast out Satan and his angels from the third Heaven. The war will be in the future before the reign of the Antichrist (Revelation 12 & 13). And that will be in the atmospheric heaven (which is presently occupied by *the prince of the power of the air and his evil angels).
