It seems to me that if your position were really the case it would be mentioned somewhere in Genesis, along with the account of the rest of creation. |
First of all, since Genesis mentions God creating Heaven and earth in the context leading up to Man's creation, and the same words describing Adam's creation in chapter 2 are noted in chapter 1 in that context, context shows Adam is the first man in Genesis.
1 Cor 15:45 notes Adam as the first man. This is the head of the human race, as much as Jesus is the LAST Adam who is head of the new creation race.
Not only that, Adam is mentioned as being the reason we all shall die. We were IN ADAM as sinners. how did we get into Adam? We were born in his family. If Adam was not the first man, what about the people not derived from Adam. And, as I noted, sin is attributed to Adam in
1 Cor 15.
1 Corinthians 15:22 KJV (22) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
This means those not born of Adam, from some hypothetical other people, would not be in need of salvation.
