Adam and Eve & Evolution

There are a couple things I think of when talking about cro-magnon man and dinosaurs. First, we are taught that the earth was made from “matter unorganized.” Is it possible the bones of dinosaurs and of ancient man were from another planet or multiple planets that had been destroyed? Second, we have no idea how long Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. The stories make it seem like they were placed in the garden and a couple weeks later they were eating the fruit. It’s entirely possible they were there for a long time while the earth was being readied for them to inhabit it. Also, once they were cast out they were probably secluded to a small geographical area and other forms of life could have been in other regions of the world. If there was something in the form of humans living elsewhere it could have just been a species that didn’t quite have the same knowledge or ability to choose right from wrong that we as humans are able to make.
