Perhaps it would be simplistic to point out that 'cavemen' fossils have been dated to hundreds of thousands of years old, while the story of Adam and Eve is supposed to have taken place around six thousand years ago. A better answer could be to separate science from religion - a scientist may say that Adam and Eve did not really exist, while the cave men really did; whereas some theologians may say that the world is only 6000 years old, and therefore Adam and Eve were the first cave dwellers (although this conflicts with the biblical story of their son, Cain, building a great city in the land of Nod). Other theologians accept that the story of Adam and Eve is not really history.

Modern humans existed over two hundred thousand years ago, and are known to have occupied caves wherever suitable caves existed. The story of Adam and Eve places them around six thosand years ago.

Although biblical stories should not be compared with scientific evidence of pre-history, it could be said that our early cavemen ancestors came long before the time attributed to Adam and Eve.

Were there humans who produced the cave paintings 25000 years before Adam and Eve?

Adam and Eve belong in the realm of religious belief, while the cave paintings and the people who produced them belong in the realm of science. The problem is in confusing religious belief with scientific and historical fact. While some believe that the first people, Adam and Eve, were created just six thousand years ago, archaeologists know that there are cave paintings produced by modern humans over thirty thousand years ago.


Did Adam and Eve or cavemen come first in Catholic belief?

A:Modern humans existed over two hundred thousand years ago, and are known to have occupied caves wherever suitable caves existed, as did the Neanderthal men who are so often associated as 'cave men'. The story of Adam and Eve places them around six thousand years ago. The Catholic Church has recognised the science of evolution and accepts that it can no longer deny that humans existed long before the time of Adam and Eve. The Church says that acceptance of the existence of humans before the time of Adam and Eve is permitted, as long as it is believed that Adam and Eve were the first people to have souls.
