1 | did cain marry his sister or someone els | Genesis | farout | 38511 | ||
This is a real thouht proviking question, good one too. What ages were Adam and eve when they left the garden? Just for the sake of having a place to start lets say 16 to 24. I am sure Eve and Adam enjoved sexual pleasure. Adam and Eve being as close to physical perfect as possible after their fall, were able to have reproduction capabilities far beyond that we have today. Assume Eve concieved every eighteen months. Which is reasonable even today this happens. Lets assume Eves daughters reached reproctivity ability at 12 to 16 like today. At that rate you could easly have 100 humans in a suprising short time. perhaps 15 to 20 years. Remember Adam and Eve lived a long time. So Cain either married a sister or niece. This was not considered incest at the time. Remember the gene pool was much purer than now. The further the reproductive offspring spreds out the less blood related the children become. I hope this helps I ve keept it real basic. | ||||||

farout, there is no doubt that our first parents found delightful recreation in the act of procreation, but just how 'thought provoking' is that? However, if we believe the Genesis account to be true (and I cast my vote for that), there can be no doubt that the human species had its genesis in Adam and Eve, and to that extent I agree with your conclusion. --Hank | ||||||
