How many children could Adam and Eve have had in 130 years, and most would be strangers, only one to pair up?

Question

To began the population of the earth in 40 or 50 years as a good start, only one son and daughter needed to pair at ages 22 and 25 or so, then the others mate with them and soon more strangers are there. There is no incest here as there is no threat to health so near to perfection, later there would be a need to distance closeness as relatives Levi.18:7-18; 2515 years after Adam.

Gen.5:3-5; Seth was born when Adam was 130, after Cain killed Abel, then Cain took a wife and his great grandson took 2 wives. So I chose 130 years as that is time enough.

Answer 1

Adam and Eve were perfect according to the Bible so there would be no problems with genetics.

There were not laws against incest until Moses time.

Genesis says that Adam and Eve went on to have MANY sons and daughters. If they had one per year, they could have had 130 kids and that is about 65 families.

If each of the 130 child couples had just 50 kids, Adam and Eve could have had 650 grandchildren.

That is a lot for just two generations, and certainly well established the foundation of our society.

Answer 2

I dont understand what your saying about the incest part, and the perfection part.... Without a doubt there was what we call today, incest, and sin had entered the world by this time . But to my knowlege there was no covenant yet. Wasnt the first covenant, which means an agreement between God and man after the flood, when God gave the rainbow to all living things..?

Answer 3

In 130 years probably a lot of kids.
