Ahhhh. So they lived in the Garden for 60+ million years. After that, humanity started measuring their lifespans in decades. Makes perfect sense to me.

Oh, and John, there is another option.
Think of God (I can't believe I'm saying this) as Microsoft. We're version whatever of His plan. Evolution is His way of bringing out new versions, updating, and making Patches. I personally come from the school of thought that says God is responsible for Evolution. (And there is even a school of thought which says that God is the product of evolution.)"I predict your ignore will rival Ben's" - Ecofarm

well according to the Bible
before the flood man measured his days in 100s of years (like 900)
and of course, before sin there was no death of mankind at all (according to the Bible)
then after the flood, lifespan quickly decreased so that the ancient were 80 (and the really famously long lived were 120)
(note the loss of lifespan is linked by some scholars to generations away from the Tree/ the effects of sin)
so according to the Bible, living 60+ million years pre eating of the fruit is no trouble at all

In the Garden, Adam and Eve were in paradise. No disease, no pestilence, not even heartburn."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

And remember, the Serpent talked, and was in actuality Lucifer.

Actually, Jon, I knew that stuff too.
EF, I can't think "religiously." I don't know how to describe my thoughts ("rational arrogance" comes to mind - after all, I always think I'm right and make perfect sense. ), but "religiously" is not one of them.

Therefore, Man would not die in the Garden.
So, if you think that Man would die pre sin, I would consider that a much bigger issue then any creationism.
BTW, Creationism does not maintain that God created the Universe at any recent time.

If there are millions of stars and millions of inhabited planets and God had to die a horrible death on each of them to save the sentient beings that would border on fetish. It would make God a very weird character indeed.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Look, I just don't anymore, okay?
