There had to be a firstIn the story or myth told in Genesis, Adam and Eve are archetypes for humanity. They are not necessarily understood to be literal. In fact, I would argue that, as archetypal figures, they are not literal persons.
Evolutionarily speaking, there were many species of early hominids. There was not necessarily one original couple. In fact, that would have been unlikely. Homo sapiens evolved over time and we are now only one human species today.There had to be a first

God's creation is perfect in every detail. That would mean that Adam was created perfect. He had only to make right choices. He could have made right choices if he had inquired of God when confronted by any difficult situation.Did God make Adam imperfect?

Well, if we want to be technical. The 'starting point' was single celled organisms that evolved at the very beginning of life on earth.There had to be a starting point and an original design
The reason creation "evolved" (changed) was because disruption in the original design (sin) effected a change on all

When did God say exactly how life came to be? Genesis has two different creation accounts and they are at variance with each other. They are also poetic in genre and are not literal history. God gave us minds to explore the world and learn about how God created the world. Who are we to tell God how God created? We can only learn from the universe as we study it. So far, we know that biological evolution is a well documented, peer reviewed, and experimented truth.Well
That is what you say
But I believe what GOD said
See?
The problem from the beginning hasn't changed much
"Lucifer" isn't Satan and never was, just a reason for an arrogant Babylonian king. It's clear if you look at the full context of Isaiah 14 and don't cherry-pick three verses out of it.
Tell me the variances you seeWhen did God say exactly how life came to be? Genesis has two different creation accounts and they are at variance with each other.

You could make that response to anything someone disagrees with. I could say that someone who does not accept biological facts are the ones saying "God did not really say." I mean the reality is that God gave us minds to explore our world. The Bible is not a book of science. It's just not.God did not really say has been the age old lie and deception from the beginning
The chronology of the first creation myth is different from the second. In the first story, God makes the plants and animals first and, then, God makes humanity. In the second, God makes humanity before the plants. They cannot both be literally true. However, their genre, their literary style, is poetic. It's meant to be a poetic tale that shows the spiritual truth that God created. It does not tell us how God created using the many beautiful processes and forces in the universe.Tell me the variances you see

Yes, our entire creation is imperfect, but perfectible.Did God make Adam imperfect?
Actually, the Bible does not describe the primordial environment in which the first single-celled organisms evolved. The Bible does not discuss the Cambrian explosion, the mass extinctions, or discuss the fact of natural selection. The Bible also does not talk about heart surgery, but it's a good thing that we know about it now!You asked "when did GOD say exactly how life came to be?
HE said exactly his life came to be
You do not accept it and are suggesting something else
