Who were the ancestors of the Edomites?
The Edomites were a Semitic people. Their ancestors, like those of the Canaanites and Hebrews, are believed to have come from the Arabian peninsula.
Genesis 36:1 gives their biblical ancestor as Edom, "who is Esau." Robert M. Price (The Christ Myth Theory and Its Problems) believes that the Edomites believed that the first man created was Edom (which means 'man'), and that he entered Israelite law to become 'Adam', with Edom becoming gradually Esau, as the ancestor of the Edomites.
Why did God make all days holy?
As it says in the bible, The seventh day was to be the sabbath, the holy day. Not every day is holy, just the sabbath, the day of rest, for that's when God finished his creation of the Earth.
What did God make before Adam?
Some look at the first creation account in Genesis (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) and see that man (both male and female) was created last of all, on day six. This account is not the account of the creation of Adam, but was written long afterwards by a different author. It should not be understood as preceding the second creation account (Genesis 2:4b-25) in time.
The second creation account says that Adam was created first, although Eve was still the last creation of all. God created nothing before Adam in this account, as every plant was already in the ground before it grew, because God had not caused it to rain upon the earth (Genesis 2:5).
Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that pious readers, believing that the text cannot contain contradictions, ignore the major disjunctions between the two creation stories and tend to treat the second story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man (and woman). Nevertheless, he says that we must scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first, and vice versa. To learn about the creation of Adam as it was intended to be understood, we must read the second creation story only.

To make man, God fashioned the appropriate shape from dirt and breathed a soul into it (Genesis ch.2). He then made the first woman by fashioning her from a piece of the man's flesh (ibid).
With the exception of mankind, we are only told what God made, not how He made it. That fact is in order to stress mankind's importance.
Day by day, God created the universe and its contents (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30).Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics.

It is totally a myth and a story told for many centuries in India. India has lot of stories doing the rounds which always have extensions and add ons to confuse people. Basically all snake poisons are cyanide hydrate salts., and they are fast reacting with water so they can never form into a stone, by the way stones are materials which do not dissolve in water. further stones do not emit any form of light unless they have radiation property, generally precious stones are cut in such a way using their transparent nature to refract sun light or any light to dazzle and such stones will not dazzle in utter darkness. use the brain and use the science to understand such mysteries properly do not propagate stories to keep generations in foolishness people are after such non existing things and quoting enormous price without even knowing what it will do to the buyer on owning it, believe that the world is created with a proper design and wisdom and every existing things are having a pattern which cannot be easily replicated. That is why the science is existing otherwise there wont be any order in existence and everything will be chaos.
One answer from our community:
The first man was formed by almighty God from the 'dust of the earth' , an obvious reference both to creative action as well as the elemental constituents to which man returns when he dies and then eventually rots.

What Scientists Say regarding Evidence for Human Evolution:
'Amid the bewildering array of early fossil hominids, is there one whose morphology marks it as man's hominid ancestor? If the factor of genetic variability is considered the appears to be no.'
Robert B. Eckhardt, Ph.D. (human genetics and anthropology) (Professor of anthropology, Pennsylvania State University, USA), 'Population genetics and human origins'. Scientific American, vol.226(1), January 1972, p94
'In recent years several authors have written popular books on human origins which were based more on fantasy and subjectivity than on fact and objectivity. At the moment science cannot offer a full on the origin of humanity, but scientific method takes us closer to the truth'...
'As far as geologically more recent evidence is concerned, the discovery in East Africa of apparent remains of Homo in the same early fossil strata sites as both gracile and robust australopithecines has thrown open once again the question of the direct relevance of the latter to human evolution. So one is forced to conclude that there is no clear-cut scientific picture of human evolution.'
