I don't know what Dick has to say on this issue, but I don't agree. It
seems to me that you want to have your cake and eat it. You don't want the
bible to be "wrong", so you try to push back Adam to huge times in the
past. But if you want to take the Bible literally, then the Genealogies
from Adam to Noah (around 1650 years) and from Noah to Abraham (around 400
years?) would indicate that either Abraham also lived millions of years ago,
or that Adam lived only a few thousand years before Christ.

I'm not saying that I take these genealogies literally, but they do counter
your claim that there is nothing in Scripture that says Adam was living
anytime in the past 150,000 years. These genealogies clearly say he only
lived a few thousand years ago.

I'm wondering you you reconcile this?
