Torah Wrong?
Question
How come in the Torah it says G-d made Adam and Eve out of clay 6000 years ago and that G-d finished crating the world 6000 years ago when there has been homo sapien human bones found that are older than 7000 years? Also, that Torah makes claims that would prove that it was given to the people by G-d, if it was given 3000 years ago. But, there isn’t a Torah found from that time.
Answer
Shalom!
