No sport what I am saying is In the beginning God literally created everything Genesis Accounts for in 7 days. Then between the last day of creation (the rest) and the fall of Man your 4.6 billion (or whatever number your precious science wants to plug into that slot) happened, then about 5000 years ago (give or take) the fall happened and Man was expelled from the garden. So yes Adam and Eve were potentially in the garden for 5 billion years, or whatever number you need to plug into that spot. (Per the tree of life which they had access to.)
So Again a literal 7 day creation, but a very long period between the last day of creation and the fall of man which starts the geneologies found in scripture that dates 'man with soul' to about 5000 years.

For all the oddity of this man's beliefs, this is one of the most interesting of the literalist beliefs - that the world evolved over 4.6 billion years while people and certain animals remained untouched in Eden.
I don't believe it, obviously, but it's more clever than the "God made the world look old to confound the unbelievers" argument.

It's bad enough that the bible says that Adam lived for some 900 years, now this moron is claiming that Adam & Eve lived for 5 billion years.
I'm so glad I no longer have to jump through ridiculous mental hoops like this like I did when I was religious.

Yeah! Fuck those eggheads! Fuck science! Let's go back to the days when predators hunted us and we died at the grand old age of 25. Those were the greatest days of all. Those nerds in lab coats ruined everything!
That makes no sense at all. All the other animals were commanded to be fruitful and multiply. You mean to tell me that Adam and Eve weren't allowed to breed until *after* they were cast out of the garden?
Still sounds like a set up. God wanted a population to punish, so he waited until they were banished to let them have babies, that way he *made sure* they would be dirty little sinners from the start and could be as much as a douchebag as he wanted from the get go.
So, Adam and Eve were quite content to lead a life of blissful ignorance for 4.5 billion years without a single thought of rebellion? Also, when they did make an error, which was never actually explained beforehand by God, it was unwilling to give them another chance, despite their 4.5 billion year adherence to God's plan to have them live a life as troglodytes? What a temperamental sod!
"So Again a literal 7 day creation, but a very long period between the last day of creation and the fall of man..."
Is that Biblical?
Your fellow Christians would see that as blasphemy.
Adam and Eve were potentially in the garden for 5 billion years
No; we're told that Adam lived for 930 years (Gen. 5:3). We don't know when the Fall happened, but it had to be several decades less than 130 years, since that's how old Adam was when Seth was born, and Seth wasn't born until Cain and Abel (who were born after the Fall) were grown and Abel was slain.
Per the tree of life which they had access to
They didn't eat from the Tree of Life. If they had, they would have lived forever. They were kicked out of the garden specifically to prevent them from eating from the Tree of Life (see Gen. 3:22).

A day is defined as the period between successive appearances of the sun. There was no such thing as a "day" until the sun was created on Day 4.
"it was the only thing left in a garden the size of 2/3's of North america"
So only two people were living in an area as big as a continent. That's one big garden. Eat from the tree of knowledge. I'm amazed they could even find it in a garden that big.
How do you know your creation myth is the correct one? What if you're wrong?

Cool... now, about the Bible pointing out that they had NOT eaten from the Tree of Life...
That just might be a slight problem for your hypothesis.
So tard, you folks will say or do anything to ensure that folks continue with the wholly stupid belief that the bible, first written by Bronze Age goat fuckers and translated, re-written, added to and generally changed since then, remains the literal word of gob. Yeah, sure.
Clever, but the Bible happens to give us Adam's age at his death a few chapters later, and it was quite a bit shorter than 5 billion years. Just admit that Biblical literalism clashes with science and you'll be a lot happier.
(Per the tree of life which they had access to.) That is why the tree of knoweledge was so tempting to eve. (it was the only thing left in a garden the size of 2/3's of North america that they had not done/was an unknown.) 4.54 billion years on an area of roughly 16472600 square kilometers and they missed the single most important thing in it? I mean, the area is huge indeed, but a time that drearily long is enough to get to know literally everything in it.specifically pointing to it . They had knowledge of the tree from the very start.
Confused?
