It is not a story Larry, it is scripture. There is no double talk in the Word and Works of God. Read the first and second chapters of Genesis, pay close attention to God's wording, and allow the Spirit of God to lead you through God's great plan for all mankind.
You know, in Job 40 is the description of the dinosaur, and God literally tells Job that "he made them with thee (mankind). I believe God, over the egotistical mind of Science of this world.
God destroyed the first world, saving his own spirit of breath within man (Noah) only, has three sons, and their wifes. Then sending within Noah's Ark the tame-like animals that he had made for Adam 'within' the Garden Paradise. The rest of all flesh died in the flood- as well as the dinosaurs. There great carcases shifting within the undertows of the great water - to be found millenniums later by Science to marvel over.
God sent a wind finally to push away the water from off the Earth, sending them into the Great Glaciers, meaning the ice age began. The waters also drained back into underground. Prehistoric life has been found in Glaciers.
Noah's Ark landed on the Mountains of Ararat by the hand of God, where dried warm ground was at that time.
The evil men and women of the first Earth Age, beginning with Cain, were all dead and gone. The only thing that survived of them was the memory of their great sins, as shown in Ham, second son of Noah, and has actions.
The Holy Bible is very Simply Written, in the Mind and Spirit of God. As you yourself have mentioned in past posts and comments, God is not the Author of Confusion. If you find yourself confused, then it's time to lay aside your own carnal mind of thoughts and understandings and get back into God's own Spiritual Mind.
I believe you to have great Faith Larry, I enjoy all you posts and comments.

Well, that is a story all right, but I still do not see where you say these people were created before Adam and Eve. It says that after naming everything no mate for Adam could be found. So god divided Adam into He and She. so that the family relationship could be started, but he still saw the two of them as one person. His intention was to always have a family group not lonely individuals.
