If Eve was the only woman, who did her son Seth unite with, to father the tribes of Israel?

Question

And if Adam and Eve were not the first parents, then there was
no first original sin, correct?

According to theologins, Adam was born
around 500BC. And there were already
civilizations in existance, which have been proven. As well as sailing ships.
Since scientifically this story is already
debunked, the reference has to be to
the first Hebrew (Jewish) man, and first
Jewish woman born among mankind.
Wouldn't this be more correct?

Correction: I meant to say that Adam
was born around 5000 BC, not 500BC.

Answer 1

Correct. Adam and Eve is a story.

Answer 2

This question has been asked and answered several times over.

One answer requires incest, and another requires evolution and/or non-traditional beliefs about literalness of Genisis.

For the first, Adam and Eve had more than three children. They had many sons and daughters. Seth chose one for a wife and they had some babies. This was before the Law that commanded against having sex with your sister, and before culture had decided that it was "icky".

The second and third basically say that Adam was not the first human, but rather the first man. This distinction says that Homo sapiens was a species of animal long before Adam came along, but that the creation of Adam (when God breathed life into his lungs) was the creation of the soul and therefore the link with God. So Seth could have found another Homo sapiens to mate with.

Answer 3

The sons of Adam & Eve had sexual relations with the daughters of Adam & Eve. There was no Mosaic prohibition on incest at that point. Moses wouldn't arrive until much later.

Answer 4

Adam and Eve had daughters as well. Yes, it means incest would have had to have happened. God has reasons for everything. Incest would not have been a sin at that time as there would have been no other way to populate the earth.

Answer 5

original sin was caused by Adam and Eve who were the first to be created in God's image and likenesss. God bless.

Answer 6

The monkey in the next garden.
That is why it's called evolution...it was a gradual change that happened due to the forces of natural selection...then finally, one day, there was a band of primates that, when you cleaned them up and cut their hair, they looked and acted exactly like humans...
Thousands of years later, after verbal communication was developed, stories were started about where the first humans came from, and since you need a man and woman to create more humans, the stories had one of each...

Answer 7

well, if you believe the bible as literal truth, then logic will tell you that he must have united with eve..... as she was the only woman on the face of the earth.
