If you are a "believer".....she was one of his sisters.
Adam and Eve had more children.....if you believe in the Bible.

Absolutely normal it was in those days to marry your own sister. There was no one else and when you really use your head about it, you'll realize that we are all brothers in sisters as we all had the same first parents. It's just that then, they were real close to perfection and today we're not. If we chose to marry closely related ones today, there are chances that we might give birth to handicapped children and God just always knew what was best for us so he told us when it was time to stop what used to be a common practise. According to the Bible, God's word, Sarah was also Abraham's sister.

When he was thrown out of the garden, he went to the city of Nod, which was where the majority of the people were who were created on the 6th day (all the races).
There were thousands of people here at the time of Adam and Eve, who were created/formed on the 8th day.

this is one of the first of MANY gaping holes in the bible. It is exactly points like this that make the entire religion question so ridiculous. Either there were more than Adam and eve, cain and abel, or mankind is a product of incest and inbreeding. How can any intelligent person believe this silliness.

The Bible does say that Adam and Eve had different little youngsters. Scientists agree that, observing the regulations of relatives tree, all of us got here from one human pair. So, wether you have confidence guy replaced into created or developed, sexual kin could have occured someplace between a brother and sister or cousins. sometime after the Flood, God gave regulations to the Isrealites and incest replaced into forbidden. that's because of the fact guy replaced into so a techniques removed from Edenic perfection that this form of dating would have damaging impacts on any infants born from it. Cain could have married his sister, or in line with risk a cousin, yet this does not have been classed as incest because of the fact it does no longer have led to any sick-effects for their infants. It replaced into additionally mandatory to kick-commence the human race. by the way, some human beings examine into the Bible that Cain's spouse got here from the Land of Fugitiveness and anticipate that human beings have been created besides as Adam and Eve. regardless of the undeniable fact that, the Bible in straight forward terms says that Cain went to the Land of Fugitiveness and together as there his spouse gave beginning to Enoch. It never means that he met her there. Genesis 4:sixteen says that Cain "took up place of dwelling interior the land of Fugitiveness to the east of Eden." Then verse 17 says: "in a while Cain had intercourse along with his spouse and he or she grew to alter into pregnant and gave beginning to Enoch." It does not say that Cain left for the land of Fugitiveness on my own and that he have been given married after he have been given there. If there have been distinctive creations of people and in basic terms Adam and Eve sinned, then in basic terms Adam and Eve could have been punished. the only point out of loss of existence in Eden replaced into if God replaced into disobeyed. Had others been created and in the event that they did no longer sin, then they could nevertheless be here in the international. Acts 17:26 says: "And he created from 1 guy each u . s . a . of adult men, to stay upon the full floor of the earth." it could additionally be exciting to word that many cultures around the globe, even primitive ones, have thoughts and legends concerning to the human race coming from one couple who lived in a park or a backyard. those cultures even have thoughts of a international flood added approximately by potential of a God because of the fact of a ethical subject, however a handful of individuals survived. There are some minor transformations however the thoughts are genuinely the comparable.

She came from Adam and Eve (Gen. 5:4). It was not a sin to be married to your sibling at that time. It became a sin later under the law of Moses to our present knowledge.

well, I have asked and researched this and as gross as it seems it could only be that he slept with Eve. I guess it would have been necessary to propagate the species. The blood line would have been so pure at that time that there would have not been a risk of retardation. The only other thing would be that Adam and her has daughters that the sons slept with. Creepy I know.

One of his sisters or nieces. Adam and Eve had other children besides the ones named in the Bible. Unavoidably, they had to marry each other to get society started.
