In creation theory did Adam and Eve children marry among themselfs?

Answer 1

Yes, they did...no one else around to be married to and have children with. They were so close to perfection, that there were probably no serious defects as a result. But who knows...that part is not discussed in the scriptures. LAter on, after many many generations, Laws were given to govern who you could marry and who you couldn't

Answer 2

If you think there was little or no incest in your family tree consider this: you are the product of two people. They in turn are the product of two people each. So you had 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, 16 great-great grandparents. If you continue right back, doubling with each generation, the number of your forebears alive at the time of Julius Caesar (well after the time of Adam and Eve) would have been more than the number of people that have ever been born - by several thousand times! Bill Bryson suggests that this anomaly can be explained only by incest.

However, if a man married a woman young enough to be his daughter then the number of people required at each generation level would be less than the doubling law suggests. This quite likely happened, but even if every man in your family tree married a woman young enough to be his daughter it still seems likely that there was some degree of incest amongst your forebears.

Answer 3

First of all there were people before Adam And Eve. In Gen 1:28 it says to replenish the Earth, you can't replenish something that didn't already exist. In Gen 1:27 God makes man and woman yet Adam isn't created until Gen. 2:7 and Eve in Gen. 2:18-23. Most Christians Say that Gen. 2 is the details of Gen 1, but read it closely and you will see that God first created man and woman at the same time in His image. A little later he created Adam and then later Eve. The human creation in chapter 1 & 2 are different situations, not the same. Now when Cain was thrown out he was afraid that the other people would slay him Gen. 4:12-16 also proving that there were other people. Now I am going to do another big no-no in the church world and step out of the Bible to other scriptures for proof. In the "1 Book of Adam and Eve" 74:6 it tells us that Cain had a twin sister named Luluwa whom he later married, in chap. 75:11 it tells us of the births of Abel and another daughter named Aklia. In "2 Book of Adam and Eve" 2:3 it tells us of Seth and he marries Aklia. So with logic and history there was incest, at least in this family, but how does anyone know that there weren't abnormalities and deformities? Everyone is just assuming that they were normal but maybe not. Now since there were other people maybe Cain and Seths children went outside of their family tree to find their mates thus in time correcting the incest problem. Adam and Eve only had five children, Cain, Luluwa, Abel, Aklia, and Seth. In the book of Jasher 1:12 it say that Eve had two sons and three daughters and later came Seth adding one more daughter than other scriptures mention. If Christians would be willing to read scriptures other than the Bible they would find the answers, but churches have them convinced not to do this.

Hope this helps

Answer 4

Consider that Adam and Eve lived over nine hundred years and had generations of children....they could have had a thousnad childre each having a thousand children...you are talking a mass of people considering how many generations would be living together at the same time they all would have been very distant relatives in no time at all....but yes they married amoung themselves being as we are all decendants of Adam we still are marrying amoung ourselves....all of man kind are distant relatives of course so are all animals...each distantly realted to its own kind.

Answer 5

Yes if you believe in that Adam was a man as we know to day, but think of it this way Adam was a tiny micro cell, just something crawling in the dirt, and so was eve when the meet , bingo Evolution. remember we were created in God's image, but we have taken it for granted that means like we are now, suppose God is so much more, I mean come on there's no way Adam and Eve was how it is in the bible, just another story written by man to explain something he couldn't, and now they don't want to because the church is so powerful.

Answer 6

Yes, when God created Adam and Eve in perfection, his purpose was that all humankind come from one man, hence be related in the flesh—all one family. (Gen. 1:28) Adam named his wife Eve, meaning “Living one,” “because,” the Bible records, “she had to become the mother of everyone living.”—Gen. 3:20.

Consequently, for everyone to come from Adam and Eve, it is obvious that at least one man had to marry his sister. Cain, the first one of Adam’s sons reported to be married, very likely did so. Abel and Seth may have married their sisters, or nieces, for Adam had other sons and daughters, who, in turn, had children. (Gen. 5:3, 4) There was very little danger then of marked deformities being brought forth in the children, because the human race was much closer to perfection than now. Few bad genes (either “recessive” or “dominant”) would exist. The vigor of the early descendants of Adam is demonstrated in the longevity of men in those days, one reported as living 969 years.—Gen. 5:27.

Answer 7

Yes, although some believe that the reference to the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" reference in Genesis 6:1 and 4 refers to fallen angels intermarrying with human beings. The phrase sons of God can refer to either angels or tohuman beings in vs. 1 of Gen. 6. In places like JOb 1:6 and 2:1 the same Hebrew phrase does in fact mean angels. Jude 6,7 also used used by some as argumentation to support this phrase referring to angels. Also the reference to "Nephilim" in vs. 4 does in fact literally mean "fallen ones" in Hebrew. So there may have been some intermarriage between angels and human beings although this is a controversial opinion in Biblical circles.

Answer 8

Heck no. There were already other people around at the time. It's clearer in some versions of the Bible, and kinda vague in others. I'm not sure if I confirmed that from the New Living Translation or the New King James Version.

Answer 9

Yes, but you have to consider that Adam and Eve lived very long, and Cain and Able were not the only children that Adam and Eve had. There were most likley several children born after Cain and Able, that were never recorded. Cain and Able could have been many years old before Cain slew Able, and then was driven out to settle in the land of Nod.

Gen 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah and lived in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Gen 4:17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

Cain's wife could have very well been a distant cousin. Adam and Eve had children, thier childrens children had children, and so on.
In the land of Nod there would have had to been many desendens of Adam and Eve due to these verses:

Gen 4:14 Behold! You have driven me out from the face of the earth today, and I shall be hidden from Your face. And I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth, and it shall be that anyone who finds me shall kill me.
Gen 4:15 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore whoever kills Cain shall be avenged seven times. And Jehovah set a mark upon Cain so that anyone who found him should not kill him.
Gen 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah and lived in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

So.....there were already people in other areas away from Eden .
This tells me that it was years before Cain acually killed his brother, and in fact enough time for Adam and Eve to prduce more children,


Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.
Gen 5:2 He created them male and female, and blessed them. And He called their name man in the day when they were created.
Gen 5:3 And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years and fathered a son in his own likeness, after his own image. And he called his name Seth.
Gen 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had fathered Seth were eight hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters.
Gen 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years. And he died.
Gen 5:6 And Seth lived one hundred and five years and fathered Enos.

Many generations, many people born
There you go, hope this may clear things up a bit!

Answer 10

Yes so you see Cristians are all inbred, which explains some things dont you think? Including being dumb enough to believe in 'Adam and Eve."
