My theory on Adam and Eve and their descendants is that they were the first hominids who were created in the image and likeness of God - that Neanderthals, etc. - were separate lines of beings who were not created in God's image and likeness.
My theory is supported IN THE BIBLE by the fact that Adam and Eve - the "first man and woman" - had a developed language from their earliest existence. In addition, the Bible says this in Genesis 4:17 about their son Cain:
"Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch."
So already, in the 2nd generation, we have the earliest known Biblical figures speaking a developed language and endeavoring to build a city. This requires a higher level of intelligence than can be found in evolution's early hominid species. I would argue from a Biblical standpoint that it's God-given intelligence.
Certainly, if Genesis is accurate, the earliest Biblical figures were not cavemen.

You don't think it might be allegorical?

I suppose it could be, but Jesus apparently didn't think so. He spoke about Adam and Eve and others in Genesis like they were real people.
That's not a theory it's a speculation.
Synonym of Supposition-speculation.Theory: 1.a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained

A fictional person confirming other fictional people's existence?

1) OT / Hebrew Bible says nothing about God creating Neanderthals or earlier hominids, or how they became extinct -- an odd omission, to say the leastMy theory on Adam and Eve and their descendants is that they were the first hominids who were created in the image and likeness of God with an eternal spirit (Genesis 1:26; 3:22, etc.) - that Neanderthals, etc. - were separate lines of beings who were not created in God's image and likeness.
It's not supported by Genesis. Nothing in Genesis would direct anyone to search caves in southern France looking for extinct human ancestors.My theory is supported IN THE BIBLE by the fact that Adam and Eve - the "first man and woman" - had a developed language from their earliest existence.
OK then. Where is it?already, in the 2nd generation, we have the earliest known Biblical figures speaking a developed language and endeavoring to build a city.
"Cavemen" is an outdated stereotype. Few early humans, neanderthals, ancestors etc lived in caves; they were mostly inhospitable, due to the presence of animals like bears, and poor environmental conditions (cold and damp).Certainly, if Genesis is accurate, the earliest Biblical figures were not cavemen.

And there's the rub. IF Genesis is accurate, but given measurements and the fact that we do know there were cavemen, it seems like that assumption (Genesis being accurate) doesn't pan out.
Riddle me this Logicman. If Adam and Eve were the first people and Cain was their son, where did Cain's wife come from?
Both could be correct if the garden of eden was not temporal and fallen like the rest of the earth and when Adam and Eve departed they entered into a world that had been going on for a long time. They could be the first parents of the modern human family, beginning about 4001 b.c.
Except for the Fact that every human alive today has Neanderthal genes in their body because we interbreed, Opps, so much for that argument.My theory on Adam and Eve and their descendants is that they were the first hominids who were created in the image and likeness of God with an eternal spirit (Genesis 1:26; 3:22, etc.) - that Neanderthals, etc. - were separate lines of beings who were not created in God's image and likeness.

It's not a true story.
You know very well we are going to disagree on that point.
I have facts and reality on my side.
