Would You Adam and Eve It!

Today, the SAB make two objections under the
interpretation and contradictions categories respectively.

Objection 1
When was Adam created?
"God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." -- Genesis 1:27

Jehovah's Witnesses: 4026 BCE
"According to reliable Bible chronology Adam was created in the year 4026 B.C.E., likely in the autumn of the year, at the end of the sixth day of creation." (April 1, 1968, Watchtower) This was the basis of the failed 1975 prophecy: that Armageddon would occur in 1975, 6000 years after Adam's creation. The failure of the "reliable Bible chronology" was never explained, and the whole 6000 years thing was promptly dropped and forgotten after 1975 passed uneventfully.

Response
As already mentioned in a previous post, the Watchtower organisation (Jehovahs Witnesses) are notorious for making false predictions about various events, and this is no exception. See here for a catalogue of Watchtower false prophecies and erroneous dating information.

Objection 2

When was Eve created?

At the same time as Adam.

After Adam and all the animals were created.

Gen.1:27 God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Gen.2:20-22 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Response
Again, as already mentioned in a previous post, Genesis 1:27 does not even imply that the man and woman were created simultaneously.

As mentioned many times (in fact, I'm getting slightly sick of saying this now) the SAB have shown their true colours, i.e. biased militant atheists whose material has no foundation in fact.

Bye for now.
