“Just Read The Story”

Categories: OLD TESTAMENT
     One of my friends is being lead to believe that there were people before Adam and Eve.  Is there truth to this?

Sincerely,
Family Tree Tracer

Dear Family Tree Tracer,

No, there isn’t any truth to that.  Sit down with your friend and read through the first chapters of the book of Genesis.  Those chapters explain what happened in the beginning of the world (Gen 1:1).  Adam and Eve were the first two created humans.  Eve is the mother of all the living (Gen 3:20). You can confidently show your friend what the Bible says about the first two humans.  After doing this, have your friend ask the other people they have been talking with to give them book, chapter, and verse for their position.
