Anybody ever wonder about what went on prior to the creation of Adam? It's only been 6 thousand years which in terms of counting backwards eternity-wise from that point is a long time. Gives me a headache thinking about it.

Actually, civilisation is around 10,000 years old. Humans have been genetically and more importantly behaviourly the same for about 56,000 years.
Yes, before that to the start of the universe is a very long time. I think of such things often...sigh.

According to some there was still a lot of creating going on before Adam came on the scene.
According to others there has been a lot of manifestation and adaptation of life.
If you mean "before the existence of the physical universe", then things would seem to be a bit more interesting to ponder.
Perhaps yet more so is the notion that time, as we experience it, is merely a limited context within which our minds operate.

Modern humans evolved 100,000 years ago. Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago. Our universe started 15 billion years ago.
Seeing as there was not an original man created out of clay 6000 years ago, if there ever is going to be one, this is the time before it. Right here and now.

Yes, all one needs for proof that the way humans see time is unique to them, but that time certainly does exist, but it's perception is all we really care about, smoke about 2 grams of cannabis at one time or take some MDMA.
The perception of time is kept with neurotransmitters and electrical and other chemical impulses in the brain.

It's a non sequitor, a meaningless question. The concept of "before" has no definition if the concept of "time" does not exist.
It's kind of like asking, "what happens if you are standing at the south pole, and then take one step to the south?"

8 billion years ago: Jesus and Jehovah discuss what to do after making the universe and the first stars. Jesus suggests that Jehovah make some angels. Jehovah agrees that it is a good idea.
TWO BILLION YEARS LATER
6 billion years ago: Jesus reminds Jehovah about that conversation they had eons ago about what to do next. Jehovah remembers that he was going to make some angels.
ONE BILLION YEARS LATER
Jehovah woke up from his long nap and realized that he was going to make some angels. He spreads his hand and *poof* three trillion angels come into existence. What do you want us to do? they ask. Jehovah falls asleep again.
500 MILION YEARS LATER
4.5 BILLION YEARS AGO: While Jehovah was sleeping, one of the bored angels, Satan, managed to get together a whole bunch of angels on his side and they had fun for many millions of years by making stars go *poof* into supernovae and playing around in the nebulae, wrestling each other, and making neato explosions and stuff. Jehovah got upset seeing all the mess they made. Now he has to clean up the place. He took one massive nebula of debris and tidied it up by sucking the mass together into a new star, called the Sun, and a solar system of planets, one of which was the Earth. Then Jehovah became tired and needed to rest and fell asleep.
48,000 YEARS AGO: Many billions of years go by again and Satan and his angels used the earth as a new playground, bored out of their eyeballs with nothing to do. Jesus tried to wake Jehovah up, but he wouldn't get up, and the Son cannot do anything of his own accord, but only what the Father tells him to do. Finally Jehovah gets up, yawns, and says, "We've got work to do!" And then suddenly Jehovah, Jesus, and the angels got INCREDIBLY busy, making the earth habitable and populating it with new creatures, using super-fast evolution and working feverishly to squeeze all geological and biological developments in just the span of 42,000 years. Finally Jehovah made man and women, his crowning achievement, but the work tired him out again and he needed to go asleep on the "seventh day", yet again. And he dozed off. Then Satan and his friends decided to have fun with the new creations and came back down to earth and horsed around in their playground again, making people do silly things, have wars, pollute the earth, even make goofy religious organizations in Brooklyn. At last check, Jehovah is still asleep.
