Where Did Humans Come From?

Maybe you’ve seen one of those timelines that are in books, on TV shows, or at museums. It claims to show where we came from. It’s based on the ideas of people who don’t believe the Bible. They believe in millions of years of evolution and put you (a human) at the very end. One common version shows a knucklewalking apelike creature that changes into a hunched-over hairy creature and finally someone that looks like humans today—us.

But is that true? Is that really how we got here?

Well, God’s Word (the Bible) has a very different perspective on where we came from. You see, God tells us in the Bible that he created humans (Adam and Eve) in the first week of history, only about 6,000 years ago. And he made us completely and fully human from the very beginning.
