It's Adam and Eve not Ogg and Creve!

We were taught kind of a hybrid "theory" - if by some chance those primitives never got to talk to one of our missionaries then they could look around at the wonder of nature and believe in God. But the only sure thing was hearing the word of god so keep sending missionaries. I always thought that was more an argument against sending missionaries but sunday school teachers were tired of hearing from me about it.
