Baptists/First Sabbath

Question
You have not answered my question yet.  This is the second time I will post it.  Thanks.****
I believe that God made the world in six days, then rested the seventh day and was refreshed.  Then He blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, making it holy in contrast to the six common days of the week which He had just made.  My question is, what did Adam and Eve do on the first seventh day Sabbath of Creation?  Does Mark 2:27 and 28 apply to Adam and Eve, since they represent mankind?  In Genesis 2:15 and 19, the words "the man" are actually "Adam."  Therefore, comparing Mark 2:27, 28, "man" could mean Adam.  It certainly does not mean just JEW.
So would Adam be resting with God on the first Sabbath at Creation?  Thanks.

Answer
Hi Shelley,
    I am sorry, but I just received the email a few minutes ago.   I am experiencing some real problems getting email and I just got your question a few minutes ago when I used a different email program.
    Will you allow me a day or so to answer when I can spend some time on the question. It am really tied up trying to get the email mess fixed.
    Thanks for you patience.
