Scientists date fossils such as dinosaur bones and those termed human or early man thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of years before the creation of Adam. None of the facts discovered by science contradict the Bible, though many of the theories proposed by scientists to explain their facts are at odds with God's Word. Adam was created nearly 6,000 years ago. Any accurately dated fossils older than 6,000 years would consequently be pre-Adamic. The Bible deals with the 7,000-year plan of God for the descendants of Adam and has only sketchy glimpses of what occurred before this period. This is the important knowledge about human life which can be learned only from God's revelation, not from the fossil record.
