In Message 3 Faith asks:
How would you know what "animals, plants, spores and pollen" were "contemporary with Adam" anyway? That seems like an interesting topic. Since this year is 5767, just what animals, plants, spores, pollen and other things were common at that time? What was the world like at the time of 5767 years ago? What was life like for the folk in the Americas? What civilizations had grown and fallen? What were the trees of the period, the plants? What were people growing? What animals had been domesticated? What technologies were prominent? What was clothing like? How about housing and shelter? What about towns and villages? How large was the world population at that time? Edited by jar, : make it clear that we are discussing the actualy state of the Earth 5767 years ago. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

I don't want to get bogged down in the Biblical Creation Myths, rather address reality, truth. What was the world like 5767 years ago?
For example, we know that the Naqada I, II and III cultures in Egypt died out around 5000 years ago. We know that the Old Copper Culture of the Great Lakes region was producing knives and axes and jewelery. We know that along the Pacific North Coast from Canada to California Salmon was used as a staple and also medium of exchange. We know that extensive trade took place all across the US because shell beads from all coasts, Gulf, Atlantic and even Pacific were found in Indian Knoll, Kentucky. What else is KNOWN.

Humans were making pottery and particular styles of pottery had developed in different areas, and spread out to cover pretty large areas. In Europe, dozens of distinctive styles of pottery had grown up.
Here is a map showing the distribution of various pottery styles across Europe around 6500 to 6000 years ago.

No doubt more like 3000-4500 years ago, possibly even more recent. And your evidence for that is? Aslan is not a Tame Lion

Much is known but not TIME. And your evidence for that is? Faith, this thread is designed to deal with truth, with a glimpse of what the world looked like 5000-6000 years ago. If you have something to contribute, please do so, but don't simply wnader in and make unfounded assertions. For example, we know that by 4000 BCE, about 6000 years ago, horses had been domestcated. We know this from signs of briddle wear on their teeth. That tells us that they were being directed, and that technology had moved beyond simple harness or head rope to some mechanical in the mouth bit.

Let's try to stick to the world as it existed about 6000 years ago.

Around 6000 years ago, folk were mining flint and manufacturing axe blades, knives and points for spears and arrows near Whitlingham Woods.

the Yangshao Culture Culture flourished. Now I realize that this is 2000 to 3000 years before biblical creation, but their pottery was still magnificent. You can see examples here.
By the time of Adam, the Yanshao culture was superseded by by the Longshan Culture. Their potter was quite different than the earlier Yangshao pottery. One of the important points is that by the time of Adam, peoples in several areas of the world had found ways to heat kilns to over 1000 degrees, an indication of forced air induction, had domesticated most animals, had developed some pretty sophisticated machinery like the potters wheel.

While we are talking about pottery, we should also touch on the Jomon Pottery tradition which continued from about 10,000 BCE until about 300 BCE. The Jomon style was impressed with a twisted rope. By the time we are discussing, contemporary with Adam, they were making beautiful complicated pieces such as this example from the Middle Period.

A recent find of a temple in Peru shows that by 6000 years ago the civilizations in Peru had advanced to the point where mega structures were being built.
