My personal take is unimportant, as I live in a confused world of poor information. The internet has been great proof of that. I believe this "world where Satan is prince" is a box he did create billions of years ago. But I don't "know" that. I'm not arrogant enough to think I know what happened billions of years ago. Only a moron is that arrogant. So the reality is that hard core creationists and hard core evolutionists are identical in thought, just on different sides of a hill, adamantly declaring their self righteousness.
Your personal take is important if you want to answer the direct, question of whether you believe Adam was the first human being. The Bible does not offer "poor information" on this point.
As for Man, he couldn't have evolved. Those attributes that enable him to open cans are useful today, but were worthless before can openers.
Opposing thumbs are often seen as a key evolutionary advantage. Back in ancient times, they lacked tins, but such an arrangement was mighty useful in using stick and stones as tools and weapons.
Man is an inferior animal.
And yet for an 'inferior animal', humankind dominates the planet. From the jumped-up little shrew which was our ancestor, we seem to have done pretty well for ourselves. (Your argument, btw is like saying a shark is inferior as a predator since it cannot survive long out of water.)
Evolution is a dream that we just really want to believe in, to make us feel we have something in common with superior animals.
The modern evolutionary synthesis is a well established scientific fact, whether we want to believe in it or not. It moreover offers a more logical, and greater evidenced, explanation for the descent of life on earth than any other alternatives.
The enemy makes the laws and the world. No real God would make such an uninspired creation ...
Is that not a Scottish god you are talking of?
God is described as good, and he informed the first man not to partake of the fruit of a tree. After partaking of the fruit, all Hell literally broke loose. We know it couldn't be a "tree of knowledge", because man is horribly ignorant and feeble in physical construction. Therefore, it was a "tree of confusion", which gave the Devil dominion. The character who blamed the first man for being a fool, and who punished him so severely, could not have been the good God. Confused, how would "Adam" know the real God? The real God was "blocked" by the action.
You know that not all of the Bible is to be taken as literal history... right? If so, how would a serpent speak without a voice box? Come to that (especially as the Bible is never written in the first person) how could there be any witness for creation before humans existed?
All the laws of Physics, all the laws of Motion, all the laws of organic life are so hate filled that only a moron can't see the evil cognition behind them.
Attributing moral qualities to natural forces and events is the anthropomorphic fallacy.
Satan made the rules in his "little box world" we experience, and he rigged the game. We see this. God came through against a rigged game with his son, Jesus, to salvage us when we get to leave this inferior world.
Since the Christian God admits to creating evil in the Bible, to making a world which was not perfect in the first place, and then later expressing personal regret or repentance on the way some things turned out, then it is hard to see how blame can be so easily redistributed.
Since the Devil and demons make the rules,
This seems heretical, the suggestion that God's will, or rule, can be overridden. It would be wiser to suggest that the purported devil and demons (even the ones with pitchforks and pointy hats) break the rules instead.
No one cares if a few believe the Earth is young. It doesn't matter. The fact that it incurs such unprovoked hatred from the ignorant masses is absolute proof that they are totally out of control in being influenced by supernatural evil. It isn't their fault. They're feeble minded. Their arrogance is proof of Satan's power.
But here you seem to offer a contradiction. For, if no one cares, how come, er, the masses express hatred? I don't know either.
