May be a plan, not sure. I actually believe Adam & Eve were God's first man/woman creation. They lived in Eden. Then God created more people in other areas outside of Eden. So, the Sons most likely found other women outside the Garden. But, that what I think, many other ideas on this.\nDang it Mainworry again. :-p Not seen you in a while; God Bless!

Adam and Eve weren't the first people on Earth, this is a mis-conception that churches teach in Sunday School. There were people here before them but what was special about Adam and Eve is that they were the first people with souls. Look at Gen 1:28 it says replenish the Earth. It did not say fill but replenish. To replenish something it already had to be there. Also consider Cain getting thrown out, Cain was afraid of the other people slaying him so there obviously were other people out there just no one wants to talk about them.

After Cain killed Abel, he left.  He wandered to Nod, a land in the East and married a woman from among the people there (Gen 4:16).  Yes, I know it's an internal inconsistancy, but if the story is meant to be taken as a parable then it doesn't matter.  God created people, but people were already there, so perhaps it the whole Adam-from-mud-and-Eve-from-the-rib bit isn't literally true.  I know some people disagree, but I believe God had a plan and created people through evolution.  Science and religion don't have to be at odds.

God started by creating Adam and Eve who were the first to begin procreating. They were having sons who were marrying wives after settling in other areas. Nowhere does it say Adam and Eve were the ONLY humans God created. He created wives for Adam and Eve's Sons.\nWhat you're suggesting makes no sense. If any human or animal or creature attempts to mate with the wrong species, even if successful at it, the progeny end up sterile.\nIt's pretty clear from Genesis Chapters 4 and 5 that Eve was not mating with her sons.\n***\nAs for the sister theory it doesn't work either because Genesis gives a sequential account of who Eve was giving birth to. There were no sisters yet for Cain.\n***\nI'm using a New American Standard version which is considered the to be the most scholarly accurate as far as I know and it's a bit different from what you wrote:\n5:1 - This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.\n2 - He created THEM male and female, and he blessed them and named THEM Man in the day when they were created.\n\nThere is no account of incest of any kind. God created wives for Adam's sons separately.

If you read your bible carefully, you'll find out that Adam and Eve had a LOT more than 3 kids. Check out Genesis 5:4\n     "After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters."\n\nThis is mentioned after Cain finding his wife, but Chapter 5 isn't really a part of the timeline.. it's more a study of Adam's family, so it seems likely that Cain simply married one of his sisters.

Sure they did.  Things were different then.  God flooded the earth once to destroy wickedness, but he will not destroy it by flood again.  He is an unchangable being, but he changes the rules for men from time to time.  We no longer live by the law of Moses, for Christ fulfilled it.  Now we live by Christs law.  Likewise, we no longer marry our brothers and sisters.  That is something that has changed.\n\nScientifically, you might also consider that genes degrade over time.  As the human population has aged, our genes have also aged.  What once may have been an acceptable health practice (having children with brothers or sisters) is now dangerous.  There is a high liklyhood of miscarriage and of retardation in children parented by siblings.  Was this the case early in human history?  Maybe not.\n\nAlso, it is no longer socially acceptable.  We live in a world filled with people.  Adam and Eve were the only ones.  Was there a difference?  You bet.

Adam and Eve were obsolutly not the first people on the earth!\n\n Any Bible scholar with half a brain would be able to decipher that GODS WORD ( bible ) alone makes that claim!\n\nAnyone who makes the claim that all people come from Adam and Eve are simply dispelling Judaisms greatest hoax upon the body of Christ!\n\nIt is true that God stated that HE made Adam and Eve in His "own likeness" and  That He created them "for His own purpose." Remember that as we go along!\n\nWe all know the story of Adam and Eve and the alleged apple incident . Which ,, BTW is nothing more than a Judaeo incert into our bibles. There is no such thing as an apple leading any of GODS people astray. In the garden we see that GOD upon calling Adam and Eve HE noticed that they were aware of their nakedness. God asked them  how they knew and Adam right away blamed it on Eve . Eve in turn stated that the "SERPENT HAD BEGUILD ME." The word " beguiled" means to SEDUCE and the intention here is meant to be seduced sexually.\n\nWas ADAM really blaming EVE? Obsulutely not! the fact that Eve first had sex with the serpent ( satan) was the great sin. Upon knowing of this great thing called sex Eve then consumated with ADAM and ADAM hade thought that he had sinned.\n\n     Not so, for GOD after creating Adam and Eve had told them they may partake of any fruit in the garden ( which there were only ADAM and Eve) but they are not to partake of the evil fruit of knowledge . God refers to all things as Fruit, Be fruitfull and multiply, thy fruit of thy womb, thy fruit of thy loins ect, ect. The evil fruit whom had all knowledge was in fact Satan and it was satan that had "beguild" or suduced Eve. Then eve seduced Adam which was a perfect suduction as planned by God. It is scientifically proven that a woman can have sex with one man and hours or days later have sex with another man and become pregnant with twins by two diferent biological fathers.\n\nIn this case one father was Adam and the other father was Satan or later known as the CANNITES.\n\nWAIT ! IT GETS BETTER AND THEN YOUR EYES WILL BE OPENNED!\n\nWhen cain slew ABLE God called to CAIN. CAIN WERE IS THEY BROTHER? Cain answered " Am I my brothers keeper? God reasoned and said "YOUR BROTHERS BLOOd HAS CRIED OUT TO ME" meaing that blood has a voice that only GOD can hear!\n\nFor this abomination God told Cain that He will CURSE AND DRIVE him out of the garden for killing the son of man. God knew good and well that CAIN and thusly the CANNITES were not of the son of man.\n\n\nIn the fourth chapter of GENISIS Cain makes this statement to GOD: \n   " I shall be a vagabond on the earth: IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT EVERY ONE THAT FINDETH ME SHALL SLAY ME."\n\nIf only Adam and Eve existed ,then  WHO was Cain afraid of that would kill him? Who was it that he would be a fugitive from? It is quite clear that the "everyone ' that Cain was refering to could not be Adam and Eve. Who was Cain refering to?\n\nCain was well aware ( more than some bible readers who could not see this truth) that many people existed in the lands around them. This fact is VERIFIED BY GOD in HIS response to Cain in verse 15:\n\nGod told Cain that " WHOSOEVER OF THE "OTHER" PEOPLE THAT MIGHT SLAY YOU, VENGENEANCE SHALL BE ON THAT PERSON."\n\nWhy did God give Cain and identifying "MARK" if Adam and EVE were the only people who knew him very well and were the only "other " alleged people alive? Why would they need a "mark " to identify Their son Cain?\n\nIf Adam and Eve were the FIRST and ONlY PEOPLE at this time, then from were did Cain find a wife? Not only was he able to find a wife , but there were obviously enough people to be part of the city built by Cain after his expulsion from the garden. Cains marriage, the birth of his son Seth, all these circumstances thus point to the existance of men independent of Adam

There should be no reaction with the amount of headlines that we have been viewing this past two years on this topic.  In the Bible, our Creator destroyed two cities because of their unnatural sex practices...shouldn't that in itself...tell you something?

After 130 years Son #1, killed Son #2 Gen.4:8; and Seth was born in the same year, so in 130 years how many children may have been born to Adam and Eve and a son age 102 and a daughter age 100 and to the ones that mixed, so that it was no problem for Cain to find a wife.\nAdam died at age 930 and no idea how many children born to them. Gen.5:3,4; \nThere is no incest as we know it, until getting farther away from Adam meant children with problems, then the law of the land comes about as 2515 years after Adam Levi.18:6-15;

Sounds like you've been watching "Inherit the Wind" one too many times.\n\nThe answer of course is that the Bible is not the complete account of all of Adam and Eve's family.  We know that Adam was the first flesh on the earth, and undoubtedly he had several children, two of which married.  There is nothing too scandelous about this considering that there were not too many choices originally.\n\nThose fanatic born again Bible bashers who claim the Bible is totally complete and contains ALL of God's words forget one thing----The Bible itself never makes this claim.  Whey then should they--unless their belief system is non-Biblical (which it is.)

Anyone who believes Adam and Eve were the only two people on the earth, has not read their Bible very carefully. There was a civilization in the land of "Nod". That is where Cain went to find his wife and build his own city. Adam and Eve were the progenitors of the Hebrew race

Some one asked a very similar question to yours a couple of days ago, questioning where Cain "found" his wife, however the so called "scholars" answered with the following :\n\n\n1. He married his sister\n2. There were other people on earth before God created Adam & Eve (which insinuates that some of us are not descendents of Adam & Eve and are therefore not created by God)\n3. The story is just metaphorical.\n\nThere are many other variations to the story and no "one" common belief among the biblical scholars. Which just goes to show that the story is not true. How could it be when the first form of written communication took place thousands of years after the Adam and Eve era? That would mean that the "story" was verbally communicated from generation to generation until it could be documented.

it's just a story. If you want to take it literally, think about this one: Who did Adam's sons breed with to create the third generation of people?  Does that mean the bible says that incest is OK?

The fall of Adam and Eve was from disobeying God.\n\nIt wasnt about what they did, because there was only one thing that they could not do, and that was touch or eat from the tree of the Knowledge of good and evil.\n\nAdam possessed much knowledge, ( he named all the animals)\n\nThere were only two humans on the earth at the time of the fall and God had already told them to go forth and be fruitful and multiply, so Sex could have never been an issue, as it was not forbidden.

Interesting concept.\n\nPerhaps God made some people barren, for the same reason, or arranged so that not every act of sexual congress would produce offspring.\n\nI don't think you'll sell that idea to the zealots though...

The term "in his image" means not what he looks like (god) but what he imagined man to look like. Yes Man did exist outside of Eden.  "Cain then traveled to the land of Nod and there he knew his wife".  Only the decendants of Adam and Eve are cursed.  Since there were those outside of Eden they are without sin.  God did not flood the entire earth, in fact it was the river Nile that had flooded and washed away those in the local area.  Otherwise how would you account for the pacific civilizations.  The bible is full of metaphores.  You must take the stories and see beyond the words to see what little truth is left in them.  The original bible had over 100 books in it.  It got whittled down to what we recognize today, by different Popes, Bishops, and Kings taking out what they thought didn't fit the story.  Gutenburg was the first to put it all together.  Also consider these stories have been handed down for many centuries and in so the translations became blurry.  By the way I am not a Christian but a Witch, I take the time to study other belief systems so I can better understand my brothers and sisters.
