Re: image and likeness
Hey Brother,
Haven't we met?
I would like to ask you to show me clearly where the verse says God created man on the third day. I can show you clearly, without any need for private interpretation, that God created man on the sixth day, and no other day is ever mentioned in the Bible for the creation of man.
In fact, I do not recall anything in the early writings of the ante-Nicene, nor in Josephus, or else where; where man was supposed to be created on the third day. I do believe that any writing or commentary of the early church supports the sixth day creation of man.

Re: image and likeness
Hey Brother,
Yes it is.
To the Admin: I've read the thread from the beginning, it has been pretty deep.
As for the first book of Adam and Eve, it is listed as a Pseudepigrapha, that means false writing. For this reason, I believe it was left out of the Bible.
However, in the same chapter; 4 "And God created that sea of his own good pleasure, for He knew what would come of the MAN HE WOULD MAKE; so that after he had left the garden, on account of his transgression, men should be born in the earth. Among them are righteous ones who will die, whose souls God would raise at the last day; when all of them will return to their flesh, bathe in the water of that sea, and repent of their sins." Here it seems that the making of man was still in the future. Besides, the whole book is not concerned with the timing of events, only that on the third day God made the garden.
