Were There Humans Before Adam?
Q: What do you think about the possibility of pre-Adamite man?
A: It’s impossible. An heretical myth invented by people who refuse to believe the Holy Bible. Typically those who try to rationalise secular atheistic scientist’s crazy theories with Creation. 1 Co. 15:45 KJV;
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
God’s word plainly tells us that Adam was the first man.
There were no people of any kind, anywhere, before Adam and Eve were created by Almighty God, about six thousand years ago.
The Compromiser’s Gap-theory
Q: What is you opinion of gap-theory?
A: As above, it is a myth invented by compromisers who try to maintain that the Earth is millions of years old: So they imagine millions of years between various Creation passages of Genesis.
The theory is completely false, as shown plainly by the time-lines given in Genesis, and the genealogies in the New Testament.
The Earth is about 6,000 years old, and there were no “gaps” of the sort supposed by proponents of “gap-theory”.
The Theistic Evolution Myth
Q: Is there any truth to the theory of Theistic-evolution?
A: No, see above. The Creator created all things by His Word.
He is omnipotent, all powerful, all mighty, unlimited in ability.
He doesn’t need to use the silly, man-made and devil-inspired, theory of “evolution”, or chance mutations, to create anything He wants to make. Col. 1:16-17 KJV;
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
What about the “god particle”?

The Big-Bang Squib
Q: Is there any validity to the Big Bang theory?
A: No, it is a superfluous scientific myth without any basis in Scripture. God has written down for us all we need to know about how He created the cosmos.
Apart from His written record of Creation, consider how silly the “Big bang” theory is. Basically it goes like this…
Once upon a time there was nothing at all. Then by chance, all of a sudden there was a huge Bang which formed the cosmos, stars, and planets!
No thanks, I’ll trust what God has written for us. That’s quite enough to satisfy me.
God says it, I believe it: That settles it!

Here’s an excellent resource for helping Christian Teens answer the many questions they are challenged with at school: The Creation Answers DVD is fast-paced, covering topics including; the “Big Bang”, did we evolve from apes, radio-isotope dating, can a creationist be a scientist, and many more.
