Answer 2

Bible 101: Genesis chapter 5 "Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters"....They lived to an average of 800 yrs.They started out marrying their sisters but as they moved around even after 200 years ,they would become strangers to one another .I have first cousins I don't know where they are.You figure at minimum10 kids per family and that multiplies extremely fast.By the time Cain was say,600,there could have been thousands of descendants all pushing out into new territories.Checking my geneology and i found not until the start of the 20th century did my family stop having 8 or 10 kids at a time.

Answer 3

Where does the Bible mention others? It mentions the name of a land but not a city or town or nation in Genesis's first chapters. Adams sons and daughters probably took each other as husbands and wifes. The gene pool may have been different at the time so it wasn't as bad as it is now.

Plus it says that Adam lived several hundred years. That would make it more likely for there to be many others to choose from for a husband or wife.

Answer 4

Adam and Eve had other children also Gen 5:4.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

If Genesis is true there were indeed other people created by God other than Adam & Eve. Read Genesis chapter 1 & 2 if you're interested. In Chapter 1 God creates humans - male and female. In Chapter 2 God creates Adam and then Eve from Adam's rib. Check it out.

Answer 7

The general practice in the Bible is that the female children are not accounted for. As an example, Jacob is credited with twelve children. However the name of one of his daughters, Dinah, Genesis 34, came up when she was raped. The question now is: How many daughters had Jacob? We shall never be able to find out.

Let us consider another example. Abraham married his half-sister, Sarah. She was referred to as Terah's daughter-in law, Genesis 11:31, rather than daughter.

Even though there is no record of Adam and Eve's daughters, events proved that there were.

Answer 8

Actually the Bible say that god created Adam the first man, then Eve from Adam. I don't think it ever specifies if he created more people after that. I'm an atheists so I thinkt he whole story is a fable, but really, no reason if there was a god he couldn't create more people then that.

Answer 9

Genetics. B/c there were only two people, there were no genetic malfunctions, like birth defects. So two perfect copies made copies.

Think of it like a photocopier. You photocopy the original, then photocopy the copy. Each time it gets worse and gets less like the original. Resulting in more variabilities and more genetic boo boos.

And the races? Not sure if your asking that. But skin tones are like a scale. And two people in the midde ca create a child that is white or brown or black. The more children the more likely to get one of every color. And those children mating creates more and more colors. Creating races. So really were all one skin color. Jsut different tones.

Answer 10

Adam and Eve had many children. I am sure God could have made more. It is a mistake to assume that the partial record is false. Cain could have left with a relative. Incest laws were not in place then. If he did not have a problem with killing a brother, do you think he cared if he united with a sister or a close relative.

Answer 11

Only one way, according to the latest discoveries in creation science. All of humanity is the result of Adam and Eve's kids having incestuous sex.
