And it better have jived word-for-word, jot-for-jot, and tittle-for-tittle with the Deuteronomy written before the Exile, or God wouldn't place it under His umbrella of preservation.Deuteronomy is thought to have been written after the exile.
No need. Try rereading genesis 2 and pay attention that it is the garden being discussed, not the world.
Yes, I am aware people want to turn the ONE true God into many.....
Taken allegorically, does it not have Adam before apes?I've read Genesis 2.

I'm not going to dignify this with a comment.Considering that Christianity has no doctrinal statement on the age of the earth or the manner of creation, and that most Christians accept the idea of evolution, and that you make creationism a laughingstock, and that countless millions reject Christ based on some layman's interpretation of Genesis, are you prepared to stand up on the Day of Judgement and be held accountable for all those souls condemned because you just wouldn't let it go?
It's all contrived AV, the internal evidence tells us roughly when it was written. The Pentetauch was completed before Joshua crossed the Jordon. Spinoza, after the French Revolution, during the Enlightenment, catering to the new aristocracy said the OT was written after the exile. He had no evidence whatsoever, he just told them what they wanted to hear. The OT, like the NT is a living witness in that it has been in the custody of living communities their entire history. The Hebrew and Christian communities respectively. JEPD is a contrived theory that has been promenant in academic circles, Christian and secular. It's based solely on semantics, it has no bearing on the true and living history of Scripture whatsoever.And it better have jived word-for-word, jot-for-jot, and tittle-for-tittle with the Deuteronomy written before the Exile, or God wouldn't place it under His umbrella of preservation.
For those of you who say Genesis 2 is another account of creation, are you admitting that the Bible says God created man before He created the apes?
Theres nothing id Genesis about creating apes. It's all about Adam and Eve.According to Genesis 1, God made the animals (presumably including apes), and then he made humans.
According to Genesis 2, God made Adam, then he made the animals (again, presumably including apes), and then he made Eve.
So Genesis 2 does seem to indicate that God made Adam before he made apes.
However, I don't see why this would be a problem, since I don't view the Bible as being an accurate description of the formation of the universe in any sense. The Bible is simply wrong.
Thank you for an honest answer.According to Genesis 1, God made the animals (presumably including apes), and then he made humans.

Nicely pointed evidence for others to face.For those of you who say Genesis 2 is another account of creation, are you admitting that the Bible says God created man before He created the apes?
Humans did not evolve from apes.I dont care about your beef with Nietsche.
But again, humans are apes, so your sentence is nonsense.
Some have yielded to this godless world's ways.Considering that Christianity has no doctrinal statement on the age of the earth or the manner of creation, and that most Christians accept the idea of evolution, and that you make creationism a laughingstock, and that countless millions reject Christ based on some layman's interpretation of Genesis, are you prepared to stand up on the Day of Judgement and be held accountable for all those souls condemned because you just wouldn't let it go?

Wow, that single picture PROVES it!
Proves that similarities can be deceiving and what is thought to be apelike in the past, is just part of the human variability.........
Isn't that exactly what you're trying to do by posting a picture of two Homo specimens that don't really look alike? Or is there some other point you were trying to make?Many have promoted such and caused misinformation and confusion.
