Question
I found your web site today and your answer to what day Adam was created on. I have been studying the bible for a while now and always looking for the truth. When Jesus came to earth He fulfilled 100’s of words of prophecies perfectly. This is the way all responses to bible questions should be. This is what God has revealed to me on Adams:
1)   He created over 6000 years ago.
2)   Man created on the 6th day was able to eat of all the trees upon the earth.
3)   The tree of good and evil was not created yet.
4)   Exodus 20:8 tells us to Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. If the 7th day is so important to God, why didn’t He tell us in Genesis when it happened?

I believe Genesis is supposed to be enjoyed in order from charter 1 – 50. I am not a hard person but really think that Adam was created on the 8th day. It makes more since. What do you think? Thank you for your time. My God reveal the truth to you.

Answer
Craig, Genesis 1:26-31 looks to be saying that man was created on the sixth day. I'm unaware of any convincing evidence to the contrary. As for the eight day, some have suggested that Christ rose on the eighth day, since Sunday follows the seventh day. I guess in that sense, if you think of the resurrected Christ as the second Adam, you might be right.

Take care.
