And you said that Day is one thousand human years! You also said that God created whole bunches of men and women. So Adam and Eve were alive for over a thousand years according to your math before they gave birth to cain and abel!
No. You are missing the point. Adam was named Adam, after the Day of The Lord. The Garden/Paradise was planted after the Day of the Lord. Adam was placed in the Garden and named all the animals after the Day of the Lord. Eve was taken out of Adam after the Day of the Lord. See that word
after in all those sentences? Eve
was not created on the 6th day.
Yes, God created the sons of God on the 6th day and they were giants compared to Adam and Eve's dead corruptible flesh. Scripture claimed they were giants before. There was 1,000 years before the Garden of Eden narrative and sin more than likely happened 30 years after Adam was placed in the Garden. Those "days of old" were the 1,000 years before death and sin entered the world.
Satan nor the angels rebelled until after 1,000 years. This time will be the same on earth for the reign of Jesus on earth. No Satan, no sin, and no death and decay because of sin.
The 4th Commandment said to Remember the Sabbath Day. No one remembers nor teaches that the Sabbath was a Day with the Lord, a Lord's Day. Yet that is what Genesis 2:4 says:
"These are the generations (plural) of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the
day that the Lord God made (day is singular) the earth and the heavens,"
There were many generations in this Day of creation. There will be many generations in the soon coming Day of the Lord. God did not just create this reality for sin to reign. Yes 6,000 years is more than 2,000, but God let there be perfection for the first 1,000 and once again for the last 1,000.
But stop saying Adam was with Eve during this Day of the Lord. God planted the Garden after the Sabbath Day. Genesis 2:5 says that no plants sprang up wild nor domestic for 1,000 years. No plants died, no seeds started any new plants nor trees. All living things consumed 100% of the seeds, herbs, and fruit. There was nothing that was left to create new plants.
"And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground."
It was not until after the Sabbath that God planted a Garden. Plant life was only created on Day 3, Genesis 1:11-13.
Genesis 1:29-30 explains what all life consumed:
"And God said, Behold, I have
given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so."
It is Scripture that states nothing died. It is Scripture that claims no new plants, grass, herbs, nor trees ever sprang up, so no seeds ever entered the ground and produced any new plant. That was from day 3, until 1,000 years later when God returned and planted the Garden of Eden. Then and only then did God place Adam in that Garden. Some time later, many years, 5?, did God introduce Eve instead of a single human Adam having offspring by himself.
Now you can speculate all you want what this verse means:
"Male and female created He them."
But the "them"
was not Adam and Eve. The "them" were the sons of God. They were either many males and many females, or it really did not matter and they could multiply more humans somehow, that no longer is applicable to Adam's dead corruptible flesh. The sons of God multiplied and filled the earth except the area where God created Paradise
after the day of rest, when he put one son of God in the Garden and started a relationship with him in that Paradise on earth.
Later God saw that one human alone was obviously lonely. God then created Eve from Adam. Then they were man and wife. Obviously after sin and several generations of sinners, the sons of God had relationships with both single gender humans who were born with Adam's corruptible dead flesh and sin natures. This did not make Adam's dead corruptible flesh better, but it created more sinful corruptible humans with a genetically more corrupted image of God. These offspring could not deal with this sin problem through God, they just let themselves get more comfortable with wickedness.
Saying these were angels who could not procreate at all, is plainly wrong. The sons of God were humans who could procreate somehow, that really does not matter any more. It is very plausible that Cain and Abel were born before Adam and Eve disobeyed God. But for some reason angels doing impossible physical acts is more plausible than God creating multiple sons of God. More plausible than a Lord's Day of 1,000 years, and more plausible than Adam and Eve having offspring even before Adam's disobedience.
Angels having sex is not impossible because it is merely contrary to nature. It is as impossible as a tree having human offspring. Trees cannot procreate with humans, and neither can angels.
