Genesis 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
New King James Version
--
The Bible doesn't say. Am I supposed to intuitively know that God made Cain's wife?
So, Creationism isn't a science with regards to Cain's wife, its an intuition?

She'd been herding goats near Dallas. Boring job and smelly.... she heard Cain was on the prowl, so she deep sixed the goats and took off. And you can find that documented in the Book of Brigette.

Genesis 4:17 says, "Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch." Who was his wife? It is implied in the biblical text that Cain married one of his sisters. Several facts lead us to this conclusion.
First, it is clear that Adam and Eve had a number of children. Genesis 5:4 says, "After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters." Since Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, and since God had commanded them (and their descendants) to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28), it seems reasonable to conclude that Cain married one of his many sisters. It is also possible that he married a niece or even a grandniece.
One must keep in mind that in the early years of the human race there were no genetic defects that had yet developed as a result of the fall of man. By the time of Abraham, God had not yet declared this kind of marriage to be contrary to His will (see Genesis 20:12). Laws governing incest apparently did not become enacted until the time of Moses (Lev 18:7-17; 20:11,12,14,17,20,21). Hence, there was no prohibition regarding marrying a sister (or niece or grandniece) in the days of Cain.

Many ask this question thinking they’ve found a "mistake" in the Bible—that there must have been other people besides Adam and Eve. Scripture tells us that Adam is "the first man" (1 Corinthians 15:45); that there were no other humans when he was created, because God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone" (Genesis 2:18); and that Eve is "the mother of all living" (Genesis 3:20). Cain and Abel, then, must have married distant sisters. All of the first-generation siblings married each other in order to populate the earth. At that time there was no law against incest. But as the population grew large enough, and as the risk of genetic problems increased because of sin’s curse, God outlawed marriage between siblings.

hi, ok right here is your answer for actual. Cain (devil's son) took a spouse from the Land of Nod. those have been people of the 6th Day advent. Adam the daddy of able, Cains 0.5 brother became of the 8 day advent. Cain became no longer listed interior the lineage of Adam with the aid of fact he became no longer Adam's son like able became. Cain became the off-spring of devil while he seduced Eve in the past she had intercourse with Adam. Now you comprehend the actual tale. God created all of the races on the 6th day. Adam of Adam and Eve became created on the 8 day. Now you comprehend the actual tale. specific, there have been individuals in the international that did no longer come from Adam. that is needed to do a learn on the Serpent Seed Doctrine to confirm exacty what i'm conversing approximately.

MANKIND ADHAM

Most have read when Cain talked with Abel and in the field killed him.
Gen.4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
God then cursed and drove Cain out, and Cain said.
Gen.4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
WHO IS CAIN WORRIED ABOUT?
Gen.4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
WHERE DID CAIN FIND A WIFE?
The answer is in the Hebrew text of (Gen.1:26 and Gen.2:7).
><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>
MANKIND
Gen.1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
The word “man” (Gen.1:26) in the Hebrew text looks like this ( אדם ), with no article means “MANKIND”, transliterated is (adam).
><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>
ADHAM
Gen.2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The word “man” (Gen.2:7) in the Hebrew text looks like this ……………… ( את־האדם ), with article and particle means “THIS SAME MAN ADHAM”, transliterated is (eth-Ha adham).
><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>
On the sixth day God created or made MANKIND.

On the eighth day God formed THIS SAME MAN ADHAM.

If you read the complete story you will find Adam lived 930 years had many sons and daughter...do the math. If every single event in Adams life was documented the book of Genesis would fill an entire library.

In those days the race was pure and they were able to inter-marry. Now days the human race is so messed up that this is not allowed in most scocieties. It can now cause some strains of some rather sickening side affects. I won't go there, that is where Cain's wife came from.

One of Adam & Eves daughters.
Adam and Eves 1st 3 children are named, then they had many sons and daughters. They lived nearly 1000 years so I am sure there were many children, boys & girls.

"When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and HE HAS OTHER SONS AND DAUGHTERS." (Genesis 5:3,4)
Cain's wife was one of Adam's daughters.
