Bible Question: when cain killed abel and left the garden of eden he married a woman from another country...was there a preadamic nation? |
Bible Answer: 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. |
