Yes the eighth day took place 6,000 years ago. The age or era we live in began 7,000 years before that. When the glaciers melted and we see a time of extinction when 90% of the species went extinct. Of course explosions or radiations always follow extinctions.
The hunter gather use to collect seeds. They would throw the seeds in the mud in the spring. Esp in the delta areas where there was flooding. But real farming began 6,000 years ago. Some of the towns were built on what had been camping sites. The layers are usually distinct though.
Adam and Eve lived 6,000 years ago. There were clearly people around before Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.Really??----somebody forgot to tell Cain and Abel--not to mention Adam and Eve who were vegetarian--at least until after the fall. They used the lambs Abel tended for sacrifice and probably ate some--but Cain was a farmer. Adam and Eve had quit a talented bunch of children and grandchildren.
(Gen 4:2) And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
(Gen 4:20) And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
(Gen 4:22) And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
(Gen 4:21) And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Adam was a single person. We have his genealogy, Jesus was a descendant of Adam. Mostly they trace the genealogy today from Abraham. All the Hebrew people and all the Muslim people are said to be children of Abraham. The gentiles are adopted into the family and are not natural descendants as the people in the middle east are natural descendants of Abraham. The Children of Sarah are the natural children, the children of Hagar are the children of the flesh. That is why they fight as the spirit battles with the flesh.So Adam is not a single person, but is a group of people. Right?
And the story of the forbidden tree is only allegorical.

Problem being with your theory...it's all pre-flood. The world wide flood of Genesis 7 would have destroyed all the evidense you speak of.Yes the eighth day took place 6,000 years ago.

Yes, we have a lot of archaeology to show that man went from a hunter gather to a food producer. The dogs went from hunting dogs to shepherds. A lot of study has gone into what we call the neolithic revolution. Where farming began and how it spread to the world. It was a lot easier to catch an animal to eat for dinner when they were penned in.
According to Max Planck: "Both Religion and science require a belief in God. For believers, God is in the beginning, and for physicists He is at the end of all considerations… To the former He is the foundation, to the latter, the crown of the edifice of every generalized world view".
The Bible goes to great length to talk about four rivers in Eden, so that would be further north.
Moses makes a distinction between the: "days of old" and the: "generations of long past". Genesis ch 2 talks about: "generations of the heavens and of the earth". This is about Eden around 6,000 years ago.
"Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your fathers and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you."Deu 32:7
When Moses says to ask your father and elders he is talking about the oral tradition that was not recorded.

parts snipped... ALSO, the four rivers of Eden were NOT on Planet Earth since they would have to originate on top of mount Everest, split into four rivers, and water the whole face of the earth, which is ridiculous.

Since Adam was made long before ANY other living creature on the 3rd Day Gen 2:4-7, there were NO people before him. Every other living creature that moveth was made on the 5th Day. Gen 1:21 Try again?
Bishop Usher did a lot of research on the subject back in the early 1600's. There were a lot more books and resources that were available to him that are no longer available to us now. Although I have read the Bible at least five times and I have done a lot of the math myself. Enough to believe that I think Bishop Ussher's book is dependable. It really all comes down to the fact that he has very little to say about anything that happened before Adam & Eve, before 6,000 years ago. Because back in the early 1600's very little was know about anything on earth before that point in time. Even a lot of what we know about ancient Mesopotamia we have only learned in the last 100 years. At the time of Darwin we did not know nearly as much about the world we live in as we do not.If you say so---so must it be.
I am NOT talking about the Adam in Chapter one. I am talking about the Adam in Chapter two of Genesis. The Adam that lived in the Garden of Eden with Eve and they had two sons together: Cain and Able. The Adam your talking about represents mankind. Although Science tells us that there was a common ancestor.Since Adam was made long before ANY other living creature on the 3rd Day Gen 2:4-7, there were NO people before him. Every other living creature that moveth was made on the 5th Day. Gen 1:21 Try again?
So we are still living on the 7 th day? God is resting and not doing anything in the world? Are you a Diest?There was NO 8th Day since God has but only 6 Creative Days/Ages and One festival Day, the 7th Day, which has NO evening, and NO end, since it's Eternity. Amen?
Only Adam's world or his bio diverse ecology was destroyed. There is overwhelming evidence that there was NOT a world wide flood at the time of Moses. There was a world wide flood that began around 12,000 years ago and the water level is a lot higher. Even today the glaciers are still melting and the water level is rising and cites are flooding. This is different from the story we read about Noah though.Problem being with your theory...it's all pre-flood. The world wide flood of Genesis 7 would have destroyed all the evidence you speak of.
I accept the Bible just as I accept the natural evidence that God gives us in the natural world. He gives us the written word of God and we are able to see a lot of the work God has done when He created this universe that we live in. The Bible explains to us the fallen condition of Creation and the need this world has for restoration and redemption. That would be difficult to figure out without the Bible to explain it all to us.I don't base my theology on what man thinks he knows--I accept the bible version and wait for man to catch up with their science.
Be careful what you accuse people of, you may very well be guilty of what you accuse others of. The Bible clearly teaches us not to judge others. Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. I have no way to know anything about you other then what you tell me. Only God can examine the heart of man.Max Planck was a man but you seem to agree with him while rejecting God's Truth in Scripture.
