No God gave us Powerpoint, man only discovered it 6000 years later (using the 'correct' time line here).And so God Inc created the first Powerpoint and man improved it
One of the kids got married, to who? Wife must have come from powerpoint too.

Does it really matter? They did not of course because they were not born like we were. They were created.
Do you know when they were created?
no.
Why not?
If you take the story literally, then why would you not also take literally, the amount of generations that have passed since they came about?
Very hard to tell when they were created. Do you know?
1. Adam and Eve may not have been two beings, but representing a time where the human species was developed. For example, eating the fruit maybe meant that humans at that point gained a critical point of intelligence. It was the tree of knowledge.
2. I don't take 7 days to create the world literally, it's to illustrate a point and maybe each point in time of the earth's evolution.
3. Out of all mammals, which was the first actual mammal to have a belly button anyway? At some point one didn't have it, and another did. So it's not as simple as it sounds. What was the first instance of a primate? If it was the first instance, what was it's mother?
So ja, my 2c.

http://www.answersingenesis.org/arti...when-was-curseThe Curse would have been fairly soon after the creation of Adam and Eve on Day 6 because it didn’t take long for them to sin (see When Did Adam and Eve Rebel?). We can do a basic calculation to arrive at the date of creation and Adam’s creation. The Curse must have been close to the same time. So, let’s calculate the date of creation.
Adam was created on Day 6, so there were 5 days before him. If we add up the dates from Adam to Abraham, we get about 2,000 years, using the Masoretic Hebrew text (which is the standard Hebrew text that most English translations are based on) of Genesis 5 and 11. 1 Whether Christian or secular, most scholars would agree that Abraham lived about 2,000 B.C. (4,000 years ago).
So, a simple calculation is:
5 days
+ ~2000 years
+ ~4000 years
_____________
~6000 years
At this point, the first five days are negligible. Quite a few people have done this calculation using the Masoretic text and, with careful attention to the biblical details, arrived at the same time frame of about 6,000 years, or about 4,000 B.C. Two of the most popular, and perhaps the best, are a recent work by Dr. Floyd Jones and a much earlier book by Archbishop James Ussher (1581–1656):
What I am getting at is; If you literally interpret the bible with regards to Adam and Eve, then surely it follows to literally interpret the generations that passed from them until Abraham, and from there to Jesus, giving a specific number.
Or is the bible incorrect?
The second one.
But seriously you have raised good points. I don't think Adam and Eve had belly buttons but their children did.
TBH I have not looked into this 6000 years thing at all. So I will have to do my own research some time.
I consider the question dodged then, until further notice.
I'm not holding my breath, but hope to be pleasantly surprised by a future rumination and response from you.
Blasphemy! Go away with your Atheist & White Tendancies!
Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing.
