How did such a primitive people, get the "order" of creation, or how life came about right? According to evolution? How did they know, unless they had "help"?

God Bless!

What primitive people ? Those in leadership, politics, science, education, and religion today ?

Surely they couldn't have got the order of creation right on their own though, could they?

If you could and did walk in the garden with the Creator every day talking with Him,

He would tell you.

Men never figured anything out on their own - either God told them/us, or the devil did.

Had not considered Jesus or the devil was posting here if CF. Agree some are acting the devil at times, doubt he is present except in influence on us all which the other Spirit is suppose to help us resist.

Anyway, the post replied to was to another poster. Normally I assume the comment in such reply is to another person. If you have special knowledge of his nature why not just share?

I did not see anyone accuse you, < shrugs > but then I did not read all the posts.
I figured no human accuser matters, and that you were referring either to Jesus or to the devil ....

Someone replying to my post to another poster, should have enough info to know whom I was referring to.

To cut to the chase here with you, that person thinks that God "breathing His Word" means that ONLY whatever he needs to take literally MUST be taken literally as well as understood the way he does by everyone. If we do not agree, then he claims we are not taking the Creation story literally and/or says we see the Bible as in error - which is flawed from the get go since even he does not take everything in the creation story literally. The row started between us when I defended theistic evolutionist in this thread from his false accusations, even though am a Creationists myself and always have been - even before joining the Church - where various forms of both views are acceptable.

adding - The accusation was that I view the Bible as being in error, even after I said as the Church teaches it is inerrant - though I doubt we all agree here what that even means.

I don't like audacity of people who think they know when or when not to take the good book's word literally. Before we know it we'll have a christian ISIS.

I agree.
That is why the Bible shows we need someone else to teach us what it means rather than attempt to study for ourselves.
But having been an evangelical I can understand the dilemma. Am just fortunate to not have the dilemma anymore as there has actually been a lot of guidance offered in nearly 2000 years of Christian history.
