God told Adam to replenish the earth. So there must have been life and possibly humans before Adam. Therefore you cannot tell how long humans have been on the earth from the Biblical account of creation.

They had committed themselves to a line of reasoning, supported not be scripture, but by tradition and they are now unable to reconcile that line of reasoning with the words of the Christ, HaHa indeed! 🙂
HAHA!

Hope you're having fun tormenting your collection of heathens though.

Your thinking is narrow and shallow.

Lightweight arrogance indeed.

Show me in the Bible where you get this stuff...

GE 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and REPLENISH the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
GE 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and REPLENISH the earth.
In the second passage there were people before Noah. In the first passage there must have been some kind of life on Earth BEFORE ADAM. You dont know what kind of life that was. The Bible does not say.
But I know you JWs .. full of false doctrines and underhand enough to twist the Bible to fabricate beliefs to suit your taste.

28And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.
Genesis 1:28 (English Standard Version)

Sorry Raj but your translation doesn't agree with what any of these translations say and I have more if you want.
So see here is one of many problems. First it is totally inconsistant with all the rest of the bible period.
I made the comment yesterday that the Bible always proves it's own truths over and over. You should be able to look up other scriptures that confirm what your saying your translation says.
But I know you can't because that's not the truth of Adam. So instead of seeing one scripture and you think it might be suggesting something like this, what does the rest of the bible say about Adam and God creating him? Every scripture says he was the first human God created for this earth.
Always always test and compare other scriptures up to something you read there.
