Q. Did CAVEMEN or JESUS exist first? Also, WHO created man? Was it God the Father or Jesus Christ? (Submitted by: Renee) A. For the first question I take it that you are asking if Jesus Christ, born of the virgin Mary, came before the caveman (he existed as a Being before his physical birth through Mary) or vice versa. The caveman theory is not biblical at all. Evolutionists, who do not believe in Creation, theorize that man came from the apes and in millions of years they evolved into a primitive man, such as the caveman. Man's creation, from the Biblical account in Genesis, simply EXCLUDES the evolutionary theory with all its beliefs, including the supposed evolution of man. God preserved for us a written record of His Creation of man in Genesis 1:26-29. In the second chapter of Genesis we see Adam and Eve placed in the Garden of Eden. It was an IDEAL living condition for the first couple of humans to live. It was actually an idyllic living, with God instructing them in the way to live and in His laws. It was nothing like the caveman's state pictured by man's imagination. For the second question, we know that Jesus lived on this earth around two thousand years ago. Adam was created nearly six thousands years ago. Perhaps you are asking if GOD or THE WORD (that later became Jesus Christ) created Adam. We find the answer in John 1 and in Ephesians 3: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. ALL THINGS were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made." (John 1:1-3, NKJV and emphasis added throughout) " . . . and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created ALL THINGS through Jesus Christ; " (Ephesians 3:9) This answer is confirmed by many other Scriptures. |
