When was Cain Conceived?

@graft2vine

There are 2 creations of Adam, the first on Day 1 and the last on Day 6.

Do you even bother reading the text?! Adam was made in the Garden, not on Day 1 or on Day 6.

@graft2vine

So if you can read atoms into the text, why not microbes?

Because the text doesn’t include microbes. The whole point, in fact, is that Adam was made from non-living matter.

@graft2vine

those atoms formed into microbes, formed into clonal organisms, formed into multicellular organisms, and eventually to man.

You and YEC, trying to stuff science into the text! Let the text be what it is, don’t try to wrestle it into some form that pleases you.

Equating sin with obedience

As I keep reminding Adam, disobedience is sin but not all sin is disobedience.

Well if breaking your arm when you fall off the top rung of the ladder before reading the instructions is not self destructive…

That’s not self-destructive, it’s a temporary inconvenience and a learning opportunity!

@graft2vine

It is the man redeemed (made in God’s image) that is “good” at the completion of creation. That is after the fall.

That’s not what the text says: the adam that was pronounced “good” was before the fall.
