First of all, not here to bash the Bible, religion etc... So if Adam and Eve concieved Cain, Seth and Able, and some nameless daughter, how did they produce? Was incest OK for that moment? Never understood how way back when people lived to 900 y.o., Was there a different calender or did they eat healthier. So lets now explain Noah, so him and his family are the only ones left on earth, you know because it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. How did that family tree work out, was incest ok then too? View Quote Noah had his entire extended family with him, several generations. |

Cain left and found "his people." The biblendoesnt say if they were children of Adam or not.
Noah, had to be some incest. I'm surprised that Noah isn't a bigger "father figure" in the bible |

The living soul is what you need to be concerned with. Not your decrepit decaying body. That is going back to the worms. The body is just the "vessel" for the soul. Your soul is eternal. Your body aint. |

Quoted: Genesis 5:4 King James Version (KJV) 4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: Yes Cain and Seth had children with one of their sisters. Incest was not forbidden until Moses (Leviticus) some 2,000 years AFTER Adam/Eve. You have Lot whose daughters slept with him after the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah. There is also a theory that Cain and Able were twins but not from the same father. 1 John 3:12 King James Version (KJV) 12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. This theory goes that Satan transformed himself into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:14 King James Version (KJV) 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 1 Timothy 2:14 King James Version (KJV) 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Also there was no conception mentioned between the birth of Cain and able. Twins can have two different daddys a we now know. Genesis 4:1-2 King James Version (KJV) 4 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord. 2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. That is why it is said. Genesis 3:15 King James Version (KJV) 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Again the above is just a theory. A theory as to "why did they live longer" would go back to Exonucleases. They were not as prevalent in DNA, or were not programed as they are now. What science calls "evolution" is merely adaptations already built in to the DNA. So when certain criterias are met, then the switch in the DNA gets turned on. It is code, and most likely has to do with PSALMS 119, and the letters in the Hebrew alphabet vs the pairs of chromosomes? Again just theory. Also the atmosphere was different back in Noah's day. Noah's sons brought their wives with them on to the ark. So yes the children from them created offspring with each other. Genesis 7:7 King James Version (KJV) 7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. View Quote Be nice to turn those DNA switches on |

Nope
Don't work, even the the atoms floating in nothingness is theory. I do however believe there were other two legged animals / people and dinosaurs . And I believe the earth is older than 10k yrs also. Some things we will never be able to know until we die. We can all have our opinions but that's all. I don't push religion on anyone and I don't like someone pushing their non-religion on me ( not saying you are, js in general ). I can use the same type answers non-believers use when saying there is no God. Ultimately, we'll all find out the truth in the end. |

Quoted:
Cain married a woman from the land of Nod and bore a son, Enoch. That woman was of no relation. There were clearly other proto-humans in the region, just none that met whatever standard led to the Fall story. Frankly, Bible stories make a whole lot more sense enlightened by science than placed in opposition to science. View Quote |

I believe the fall occurred at the Younger Dryas boundary and the flood at the YD/neolithic, so 12,800 and 11,600 years ago.
The stories themselves incorporate other ideas like the discovery of ethics and so on, they were passed down orally for millennia before they were written down in the form we have now. There are other stories that relate the same events, and the same ideas. Gilgamesh, Atlantis, Buddha starts out in a walled garden paradise too, and discovers ethics due to disobedience, and finds he can't go back to the garden. It's the same metaphor of adulthood. There was about 60,000 years of relative climate stability and plentiful resources for hunter/gatherers between Toba and the YDB, so the population of Eden was probably quite a bit higher than what made it through the YD into the Neolithic. |

Perhaps "the breath of life" was breathing a soul into a man, and while there were humanoids of varying degrees of humanness, they were more animal than man. Therefore as the neandrathals and homo sapiens intermingled, the hot neandrathal women were taken as wives by the soul-endowed offspring of Adam and Eve, and children had that self aware soul that was borne of Eden at the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil.
Is it really that hard to imagine how our scientific evidence jives with biblical teachings? Genesis 1:26-28 says- Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. But it's not until Genesis 2:7 that the Bible mentions creation of Adam- 2:7 Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. 8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. Note that is say that "God formed a man (not God formed man). Also, in 1:26 it says that god created man to have dominion over the earth, but Adam was created to manage the Garden of Eden specifically. We don't know that it's definitive that the same "man" created in His image in 1:26 is Adam. So if it's possible that man was created and that Adam was given the Garden to tend, then after the original sin and the subsequent casting out of the Garden of Eden into the world, the world was already populated by the men and women from 1:26 Further in Genesis 4:14 as Cain is banished to be a wanderer of the earth, he says G3:13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me. 15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so[e]; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the land of Nod,[f] east of Eden. Logically, Cain's fear of being killed must be at the hands of other people since "whoever finds" him can't be just his mom and dad because 1. they weren't in the land of Nod. and 2. they aren't "whoever" Verse 4:7 says "Cain made love to (knew) his wife and gave birth to Enoch. He already had her as a wife when exiled to Nod. |
