Do you think that Adam was the first human being ever created? Come with me to the King James version bible and I will show you hints to this great mystery.
Genesis 1:26 through 28 says that God created men and women. He also told them to be fruitful and multiply. Then in Genesis 2:7 God formed a man from the dust of the ground.
Notice that created and formed are two different words. In the Hebrew language, the word created is bara which means to create. The word formed in Hebrew is yatsar, which means to mold or squeeze into shape. Two different words to describe two different actions by God. But wait, there is more.
Genesis 2:1 says, "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. I used to think that host was talking about other planets or stars or animals. Host in Hebrew is tsaba. Tsaba means a mass of people.
Again, two different actions by God to create people and to form a man. This man that was formed was Adam, and the people that were created are all the human beings in general. These people are made up of all the races of humans such as black, white, and oriental.
As for Adam, he is the first human that God communicates with. He is also the start of the lineage of the Israelites and eventually Jesus Christ himself.

Six Day Creation
I believe in creation, not evolution. The book of Genesis says 10 times that all things were created of their own kind.
Genesis also says that God created our earth and universe in 6 days. Think about this, God doesn't live on earth. He doesn't go by earth days. His days are periods of time. He created our universe in 6 periods of time.
Second Peter 3:8 says that one day is with God as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. Plug in billion instead of one thousand years and you get 6 billion years instead of 6 days.
You see, the bible was written in Hebrew (old testament) and Greek (new testament). If you knew these languages, you could understand a little more about the creation. Since I have no idea how to read these languages, I look them up in an Exhaustive Concordance.
A concordance has all the words of the bible in English translated from Hebrew and Greek and it gives the meanings of each word.
A lot of studying is involved, but it is well worth it. If you don't have 15 years like it took me, then you can read my book.
Much more to come
