Please provide an example for clarification.
Man evolved from Apes.... A false theory.
Further, if there were Pre-Adamites, it further doesn't pose a problem for Adam, etc.
It kind of does...
Actually it doesn't.....
Adam and Eve were put into the Garden of Eden.
When they ate of the fruit they were cast into the Lone and Dreary world, and the way to the Garden the Tree of Life was blocked. Then very quickly out of no where Cain etc. has this big family.
In other words, there easily could have been a world separate from Adam's line that had already existed, that had men in it.
I know the "traditional" interpretations..... But, if you know the Apostles historical battles of this issue, you'll know that they've both acknowledged "neither" interpretation is actually official doctrine. They are interpretations.
The only actual doctrine is that Adam/Eve were God's chosen lineage people made in his image, spiritually begotten of him.
In fact, the Bible even seems to indicate these "other" men, in statements like, daughters of men, etc.
