Good question. That's why I think the bible is a bunch of crap. Ranks right up there with other fairy tales like peter pan, snow white, santa claus and the easter bunny. I want someone to convince me there really is a god. . . and don't use any quotes from the bible.

You really can't expect the Bible to include everything that happened. Moses was just hitting the highlights in Genesis. Much to much happened to include it all.
Obviously Adam and Eve had many other children. Seth is one of them. The others are just not mentioned. Why should they be? They don't really add to the story.
Specifically to your question, Cain slew Abel, so we don't know if Abel ever married.
As I understand it, from revelations not in the Bible, Cain married a neice. Which begs the question of who were the parents of the neice? Well, probably a brother and sister to Cain.

Well...Abel died, so there's one. Cain on the other hand, simply has a wife pop out of mid-air. According to the Book of Jubilee, a non-canonical text, Cain's wife was a sister. But as the Bible is specifically anti-incest, this creates a problem. The typical answer is God just created another human.

Genesis 4:17 Cain lay with his wife, and he gave birth to Enoch.
Well then who's his wife??? the Bible doesn't say that Adam and Eve only gave birth to Cain, Abel, and Seth. so itz possible that Cain probably had to marry a sister.

christians are not against reasoning by science, science just proves the bible is true, and that creation is true. and I really couldn't say about cain, I'll find out when I get to heaven I suppose.
Angry c. I don't know how to "convince" you to believe in God, It doesn't work like that. It's a personal decision only you can make, God gives you the choice to believe. And if there was no God, where did we come from? No, it's not the "big bang" or evolution, Explosions don't create they destroy, and we couldn't have come from monkeys. If we did, Hypotheticly, why are there still monkeys? And God created the earth exactly right for us, if we were any closer to the sun we'd burn up. If we were any farther away we'd freeze. It wasn't by chance. We were created by God, and He loves you. It's your choice now.

I'm guessing sister. All of the Christians always claim that DNA was pure way back then, so incest was cool. Apparently science makes sleeping with your sister acceptable or not acceptable (which is REALLY bizarre, considering Christians are mostly against reasoning by science).

Apparently someone pulled off another creation in the Land of Nod, East of Eden -- but without James Dean.

well from what i learned cain and abel both were from twin births which were girls and they were to marry eachother's twin sister. but cain wanted to marry his twin and that is when the jealousy begins with them.
