COMMON QUESTIONS

·        Which came first the Chicken or the egg?

•         Genesis 1:21 “So God created..., every winged bird according to its kind”. The text says birds not eggs. Eggs would require a mother but a mother would not require an egg. Eggs must be turned over twice a day or they would not hatch. God created birds before eggs.

·        Was sex the forbidden fruit ? No, for before they ate of it they were commanded to, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth...” Genesis 1:28.

·        Was prostitution the first profession? No. God put Adam in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it (Genesis 2:15). “The man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.” (Genesis 2:20) Who would Eve have prostituted herself with?

·        Where did Cain get his wife? He married his sister or niece. Due to the near perfect health before the flood, incest was not forbidden until after Moses (Genesis. 20:12). Abraham was married to his half sister.

·        Could God have created other people beside Adam and Eve? No. “And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.” Genesis 3:20 “In six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth the sea and all that is in them.” Exodus 20:11

·        Does the word “replenish” mean that there were people before Adam?  Genesis 1:28 “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, ‘Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth....”’ KJV “Replenish” Webster - make full again. Thayer's Greek Lexicon - to fill, to be full. NIV - "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth. God “plenished” the world with full grown flowers, grass, trees, birds, fish and animals. Now he says to man, “You ‘plenish’ it one more time. You fill it with people.”

·        Where do Cave Men fit into the Bible picture? Some people in every century live in caves.

·        The Heidelberg man was built from the jaw bone that was conceded by many to be quite human.

·        The Nutcracker man was reported to be 134 million years old but material in the same strata was shown to be less than 7,000 years old.

·        The Nebraska man was scientifically built up from one tooth which later was found to be the tooth of an extinct pig.

·        The Piltdown man was built from a jawbone which was proven to be from a modern ape.

·        The Peking man was reported to be 500,000 years old. All evidence has disappeared.

·        Neanderthal man: At the International Congress of Zoology (1958) Dr. A. J. E. Cave said that his examination of this

famous skeleton, found in France, showed that it is that of an old man who suffered from arthritis.

·        The Pithecanthropus man’s skull turned out to be the knee cap of an elephant.

·        The New Guinea man dates way back to the year 2002 and presently lives in northern Australia.

·        The Cro-Magnon man is one of the best established fossils. It is at least equal in physique and brain capacity to modern man ----so what’s the difference?[1]

·        Modern man, this genius thinks we came from a monkey. Some people talk about the missing link. Brother, the whole chain is gone!

·        Is there life on other planets? If there is life on other planets it was created at the same time we were (Exodus 20:11,12). The life on other planets could not be human (Genesis 3:20). If life exists on other planets it will stop when life on this earth ends (2 Peter 3:10-12). With regard to more specific details of life on other planets see Deuteronomy 29:29.

• Where does the ice age fit into the Bible story? It doesn’t! The flood did the devastation that is commonly attributed to the ice age.
