Assuming that Adam even existed beyond the imagination of ancient middle-eastern creation stores, my answer would be "Yes".Should Adam have had a belly button?
"Belief / faith" is for things like God that cannot beSo what evidence do you have the flood didn't happen? Multiple civilizations from all over the planet have stories of a great flood happening. Clearly at some point in human past a great flood happened. How else do we explain civilizations having similar stories? They couldn't jump on social media and share it instantly. Multiple would not have enough had knowledge of the other civilizations, yet they have similar stories. Now that's not scientific evidence, but saying the flood didn't happen needs some evidence for such a claim. And there is some evidence that it did, even outside of the Bible.
I'm not running away from science, I'm merely saying that science is ever evolving, because it's based off of human wisdom which is woefully inadequate in such matters. No human was around when these events happened. Scientists base their conclusions off whatever evidence they accept at the time. That's another matter that needs to be explored, what evidence is accepted and what evidence is rejected. Let's not pretend humans don't have agendas and ignore things that don't fit their understanding and beliefs.
Ah, but there it is. Belief.
A person's beliefs will likely shape their understanding on subjects such as this.
The cosmic microwave background is everywhere there's nothing about it that indicates a time frame. The hypothesis is that it formed because of a theory that there was a big bang and that hasn't been proven. It's one of a few theories of the beginning of the universe. Man has not gazed that far back yet.The oldest source of electromagnetic radiation that telescopes can observe is the cosmic microwave background, which was emitted during the recombination epoch, about 380,000 years after the origin of the universe. Before this time the universe was an opaque plasma, so no light from earlier times can be observed.
The first galaxies formed a few hundred million years after the origin of the universe, and therefore about 13-13.5 billion years ago.
AIG is a bunch of lying phonies out to
exploit honest and earnest Christians.
Sorry, but once you get my mind thinking it can be hard to stop it... so it's your fault.
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
“Who is this who obscures My counsel
by words without knowledge?
They didn't charge me to watch their videosThere is no Truth in money.
That is not what they are doing.How are they exploiting by believing God's Word is Truth ????
So everything that we can imagine and a bunch of stuff our brains are too small to imagine, God can “do”?"Is anything too difficult for the Lord?”
Genesis 18:14 BSB
"For nothing will be impossible with God.”
Luke 1:37 ESV

Yes.How is it meant to be deceiving? Perhaps scientific understanding just hasn't fully come to grips with the evidence. For instance, hundreds of years ago, scientists all swore the earth was flat and the center of the universe. Well now science says just the opposite.
Just because your science says something now, doesn't make it right and absolute. What God has created He created, and His understanding and wisdom goes beyond what yours or anyone else's can comprehend.
Forgot inspired by God
“Let us* create time; let us* create ‘the heavens and the earth’, but let’s make it ‘old’ like it has been here for a very long time, but it will have been brand spanking new, so that when the creatures (that we* will also create), become wise they can see that the ‘heavens and the earth’ are far older than they actually are! That’ll give them something to commit chronocide on!” [God laughs]How is God being dishonest by creating things with the appearance of age?
This was the plot of “Bladerunner”, just so we all know.Let's say a person was created in a lab, a fully formed adult human being using some crazy sci-fi technology. The how isn't important for this analogy. The people who created this person then gave this person a lifetime of memories--memories of being a child, memories of their parents, memories of things they did, times they got in trouble, their first crush, their first kiss, memories of their grandparents dying. They even were designed with scars on their body, from accidents they acquired when they were supposedly younger. Now, of course, they were designed in the lab--they had no parents, no grandparents, never had a crush, a first kiss, and the scars are artificial. So all those memories, both what they remember in their mind as well as the physical memories on their body are all intentionally put there to make this person believe they had a full human life. But they never did. They were created last Thursday in a lab.
Wouldn’t have “the laws of physics” come later after things were “made”?God created this universe in a series of miracles over a six-day period that raised the level of mass/energy from zero to what it is now.
No science involved.
Even the order of His creation violates all known laws of physics.
If you were to examine the historical evidence, you would find that many great floods have happened all over the world and throughout human history; in fact, floods are probably the commonest of natural disasters. However, all of them were local events, and they happened at different times.So what evidence do you have the flood didn't happen? Multiple civilizations from all over the planet have stories of a great flood happening. Clearly at some point in human past a great flood happened. How else do we explain civilizations having similar stories? They couldn't jump on social media and share it instantly. Multiple would not have enough had knowledge of the other civilizations, yet they have similar stories. Now that's not scientific evidence, but saying the flood didn't happen needs some evidence for such a claim. And there is some evidence that it did, even outside of the Bible.
It is actually impossible to dispute science as an intellectually honest creationist. *
* example
A Dr. K Wise yec paleontologist:
".....even if all the data in the universe turns against yec. I will still be yec as that is what the Bible seems to indicate."
Do you see the problem?
So we don’t have to try and explain anything, because God.
