But if there is a Creator, he created the Dinosaurs, many different types and sizes of them, millions of years before us, correct?
Im a person of deep esoteric spiritual practices & believe that something was before nothing. I believe God put into motion the program of light , vibration & natural laws that work on an evolutionary basis .

Men have nipples.
If a Creator would have made Adam first, why on Earth did he give him nipples?
I mean I'm open to read your answers, but I doubt you can come up with anything that would explain that.
Therefore I challenge you to prove me wrong, if I state:
The fact that men have nipples is conclusive proof there is no Creator.
They really didn't have the best geography/cartography at the 2nd Temple, so it's forgiven
The closest thing to a larger-scale map in the ancient world was the itinerary, a sort of route guide to major destinations, noting the stopping places and the distances between them. Using one of these lists, an ancient traveller could follow the excellent Roman road network from one end of the empire to another, with a good chance of arriving in the right place. Luckily, several of these ancient itineraries survive today, giving us a good idea of how people in the Roman world might have planned their journeys. One of the most famous even survives in illustrated form, albeit as a medieval copy. The Peutinger Table, as it’s commonly known, shows a plan of road routes and cities across the world, from Britain to India, although the furthest western section is lost.
Not like that red line was a well known travel corridor between Egypt amd Canaan or anything...

Jews, the religion that wrote The Pentateuch rarely view the creation account verbatim or as literal in any way. The Ultra-Orthodox, but that's about it. When viewed as allegory the absurd narrative of genesis can be easily reconciled without losing one shred of faith in an ultimate creation.
