Is everyone not related if Adam and Eve weren't the only ppl god created?

Question

Well some one brought it up to me one day that is Adam and Eve were the first people, okay yea, and they had 2 sons, cain and able,okay.., well how is it then that Cain got a wife from another town?

Only way I can explain this is that no where in the bible does it say god stopped creating people after Adam and Eve, just that they were the first people, what if after they got kicked out of the garden god made more people, and well thats the only way i make since of it.

So therefor not everyone is actually related , I used to think we all were before because if they are the first people then down the line we come from them, well relatives of theirs atleast.

What do you think?

Answer 1

well everyone in my trailer park is related and that suits me just fine

Answer 2

Even today most Christians do not know the answer to questions as basic as " Where did Cain find a wife?" The problem with not having reasonable answers to basic questions as basic questions is that it brings all if Christianity into question. Why should people believe in a God whom they cannot see, if believers in that God cannot answer life’s simplest questions about the past and our origin's?

The reason the answer to this question is not immediately apparent is that we have all been trained to think like evolutionists. Evolution was founded on a principle of modern geology called uniformitarianism. This is the belief that small changes over vast periods of time caused the massive geologic (and later Darwin added biological) changes we see around us. In essence, we are trained to believe that everything has essentially operated as we see it today. However, this is not what the Bible teaches. The Bible teaches that mankind was created perfect, without flaws. It was only after man's disobedience that imperfection entered God's creation. Thus mankind, as originally created, would not have had the myriad of genetic mistakes now present in our mistakes now present in our DNA. In opposition of what evolution teaches, mutations or mistakes on our DNA, do not lead to better and improved humans. These mistakes cause hundreds of debilitating illnesses and birth defects. The reason all of us are not born with enormous numbers of medical problems is because our genes are a combination of the characteristics of our parents. Only when both parents have the same mistake in their genes do their children manifest the resulting genetic problem.

Furthermore, these genetic mistakes accumulate and increase with time. In other words, the information in our DNA gets more garbled-it never increases in clarity. Since mistakes are accumulated in our DNA, it is logical to assume that as we go back in time there would be less mistakes. The reason brothers and sisters cannot marry today is because they are likely to have similar DNA errors leading to children with birth defects. However, there were no moral laws against children intermarrying until after the time of Moses. This was approximately 4,000 years ago and at least 2,000 years after the creation of mankind. Before that time sibling marriage was probably quite common. The Bible states that Adam and Eve had MANY sons and daughters. Jewish tradition suggested that they had 33 sons and 23 daughters! Cain merely married his sister.

The reason we don't realize this obvious answer is because we have been trained to believe things have always been the way they are today. The past, and the present, becomes far more understandable as we view it from a Biblical perspective. This viewpoint acknowledges that the past, has at times, been very different than the present.

Answer 3

If you read the geneologies that are later in the book of genesis it talks about Adam and Eve's other children--therefore Cain and Able each married one of their sisters. This is before incest was forbidden. And if nothing else everyone is related through Noah.

Answer 4

So it didn't occur to you that other people could have been out there due to evolution? or another god making them? or aliens? or any other means?

Or maybe Cain's wife was a gorilla? a monkey? maybe he married a giraffe? It never says Cain's wife was human.

And don't forget about the great flood that killed everyone but Noah and his family. So technically we are from Noah, who is from Adam and Eve.

Answer 5

According the Islamic knowledge,

Abel and Cain were brothers, but they each had twin sister. Such that Abel had a twin sister when he was born, and Cain had a twin sister when he was born. And then Cain married Abel's twin sister. And Abel married Cain's twin sister. This is before incest was forbidden.

And God knows best.

Answer 6

God created Adam & Eve first, then the rest of us happened.

Answer 7

I think...oops I forgot what I thought.
Gen..2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. HOST=tsaba'
tsaw-baw'


or (feminine) tsbadah {tseb-aw-aw'}; from 'tsaba'' (6633); a mass of persons ......then in verse 6 of chapter 2, God formed Adam and Eve...see how simple the answer was?

Answer 8

Look back during the creation, in Genesis......your answer is there. For the Lord speaks of others during the creation, look at who he speaks to....."lets make them in "our" image". There are others.

Don't forget about the angels and fallen angels....for they did take up wives on earth to create the Nephilim. Which is one reason why the Lord flooded the earth. For it had become wicked.

Answer 9

Nobody knows since mythology is more like a guidelines. The book doesn't come with explanations because to tell the truth there are no answers...

Answer 10

If God did create other people we are still all related because the flood killed everyone save Noah and we are all descended from him.

Answer 11

Everyone is related, whether you believe the bible or not.
