RomanceRe: Adam And Eve - Not The First Humans by damtan(m): 5:36pm On Oct 12, 2019
Beatswim:
There are many difficulties that arise with this statement since Genesis only records two children of Adam and Eve to this point-Cain and Abel. The issues to be considered are these:

1)If all humanity descended from Adam and Eve, then where did his wife come from?

2)In addition, where did all the people come from that are mentioned in the account?

3)If Cain married a relative, then doesn't this indicate incest?

4)If Cain married his sister, then wouldn't we expect any offspring to suffer degenerative effects?

Pre-Adamic Humanity

Some have attempted to say that Cain's wife came from a race of Pre-Adamic humans who were around before Adam and Eve. The idea of Cain marrying someone from this race creates more problems than it solves. The Scriptures are clear that Adam was the first man created (Genesis 2:7,18-19; 1 Corinthians 15:45). Furthermore, his wife Eve was given her name because she was the mother of all living (Genesis 3:20). These two facts rule out the idea of some Pre-Adamic race from which Cain chose a wife.

Other Children

Other Bible students have attempted to explain the existence of other humans apart from Cain and Abel by saying they were not necessarily the first two sons of Adam and Eve. They contend that other sons and daughters could have been born before Cain and Abel and that the Bible is merely singling out these two for emphasis. The Bible, however, knows nothing of any other children of Adam and Eve before Cain and Abel. Attempting to say that other children existed before Cain and Abel has no support in Scripture but it cannot be totally ruled out.

If all of humanity did descend from Adam and Eve and their first two sons were Cain and Abel then how do we explain the existence of Cain's wife?

Time Not Stated

First, we must understand that no information is given as to when Cain killed Abel. The Bible does not tell us how old Cain and Abel were when this murder took place. It merely says it occurred at the end of days. It is not necessary to assume that they were mere teenagers or young men. If each of them were over fifty years of age, then there could have been a considerable number of people living at the time. We know this because the Scripture does state that Adam and Eve had many more sons and daughters than Cain and Abel.

And he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he begot sons and daughters. So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died (Genesis 5:3,4).

The Bible says Adam was one hundred and thirty years old when Seth was born. He then lived another eight hundred years. God had promised Eve that he would greatly multiply her conception (Genesis 3:16). In fact Jewish tradition states that Adam had 33 sons and 23 daughters! Therefore many people could have existed at the time when Cain killed Abel. It has been conservatively estimated that 32,000 people could have been alive at that time this event occurred.

Long Life Spans

Furthermore, Genesis 5 records long life spans of the descendants of Adam. If we assume the couples gave birth to children for only half of their life span, then the population by the time of Adam's death could have been very large. Moreover, the genealogy in Genesis 5 records that every descendant of Adam down to Lamech had other sons and daughters. These other sons and daughters were born to men not older than one hundred and eighty-seven years.

With these facts in mind, there would be no problem finding a wife for Cain. Prior to his banishment, Cain could have had many women from whom to take a wife.

What About Incest?

It seems then that Cain, or one of his brothers, must have married a sister. If the entire human race came from an original pair then this was unavoidable. Does this not present us with the problem of incest? The answer is no. These early intermarriages between brothers and sisters does not violate the commands God later gave in the Book of Leviticus which condemned these relationships.

Sister Or Niece

Though Genesis condemns incest- relations between children and parents-it does not forbid a man from marrying his sister or niece. The Bible records other examples of intermarriage within families. Abraham, for example. married his half-sister Sarah (Genesis 20:12) while Moses' father Amram, married his father's sister, his aunt Jochabed (Exodus 6:20).

Changed With Law

It was when God gave the people the law of Moses that He established laws forbidding a man from marrying a sister or niece.

None of you shall approach anyone who is near of kin to him, to uncover his unclothedness: I am the Lord (Leviticus 18:6)

At that time God forbade marriage between the following: mother, father, sister, brother, half-brother, brother's wife, aunt, uncle, stepmother, granddaughter, daughter-in-law, and son-in law. Before that time, it was not forbidden (Leviticus 18:7-17).

God forbade intermarriage at the time of Moses to protect the increasing chance of a deformed offspring resulting from such a union. In addition, the future health of the nation Israel was insured by this commandment. Furthermore, the commandment against this type of practice strengthened the structure of the family unit.

Degenerative Effects

If this be the case, then what about the question of genetic damage? Today the risk of genetic damage is high among relatives who intermarry. However, in the beginning, there would not be the usual genetic defects arising from intermarriage among family members. Adam and Eve were created perfect with a perfect gene pool. The Bible says when God created everything it was very good (Genesis 1:31). The perfect world only began to degenerate with the entrance of sin. Cain and Abel would have few, if any, imperfect genes. Any defects that would occur from marriage within families would not begin to appear until later generations. Thus the danger of genetic damage by intermarrying between brothers and sisters was not an issue in those early days.

One final point to note, the command that God gave to Adam and Eve-to leave father and mother-assumes that you are not going to marry either one of them! Therefore the idea of marrying your child, or parent, was never found in Scripture.

Summary

As far as the account of Cain's finding a wife when no other people were mentioned except Adam, Eve, and Abel, we can make the following observations:

1.The problem of the identity of Cain's wife cannot be solved by arguing for some race of Pre-Adamic humans. The Scripture is clear that Adam was the first man and that Eve was the mother of all the living.

2.Some believe that the answer to the population problem is to say that there were older brothers and sisters of Cain and Abel. There is no biblical support for this view but it cannot be totally ruled out.

3.We are not told the age of Cain and Abel when the murder occurred. They could have advanced to a considerable age before Cain killed Abel. The limit the Bible puts on the age of Cain and Abel is 130 years.

4.Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters. We are not told specifically how many, but we are told that Adam lived 930 years. This raises the possibility of dozens of children from that couple alone. There were possibly as many as 32,000 people living at the time Cain killed Abel.

5.Genesis 5 tells us that some of Adam's descendants also had long life spans. Likewise, the Bible says that they gave birth to many sons and daughters.

6.There would not be an issue of incest-parents sexual relationships with their children. This would be a matter of siblings intermarrying-something that was not condemned in Scripture until the Law of Moses. Abraham is one biblical example of a person marrying his half-sister.

7.The Law of Moses condemned intermarriage between brothers and sister to protect the health of the nation as well as the family unit.

8.Because Adam and Eve were created perfect, their gene pool would not have been corrupted until after the Fall. Children of close relatives that married soon after the Fall would not be subject to the same degeneration that would occur in later generations.

9.Genesis 1 says we are to leave father and mother when we get married. That assumes you don't marry one of them!

Victoria is kind, caring, sweet, talented, never faltering in the friendship she so freely gives. You are a very lucky person to know a Victoria. Do not take her for granted, she can be fragile, she deserves to be treated with care and respect. Victoria's often do not see their own talent, and need to be reminded of it often, in time, they may even grow to see it in themselves, if their talent is nurtured and cared for. Victoria's are remarkable people, they seem so close to perfect it is almost scary, people may question if they even deserve the friendship they are given, do not fret, friendship will not be given to those whom are unworthy, not often at least. Victoria's are usually good judges of character, although they do make mistakes every now and again, it is just one of the factors reminding those around them that yes, this perfect angle is human, even if she does seem heaven sent.

A name given to the greatest girl ever. She is the one with the biggest heart and can put up with so much stuff.She is beautiful in every way. She also has the sweetest voice ever. It can brighten your mood even when your really down. She also is the sexiest person out there. She is also very addicting. You can't stay mad or upset with her. She can just start talking in this really cute voice and you would instantly like/love her again. Oh,, and she is the greatest girlfriend in the entire world. She is always there for her man. She is loyal and respectful. But don't get her mad otherwise your going to have hell to pay. lol. But other than that she is the best person ever. And she is also the greatest girlfriend you could ever have.

Victoria is a beautiful, strong, caring girl. She loves and cares for all. She has a stunning voice that will cure anything. Her laughter is what will keep you going.

Her care towards others is undeniable. She would wake up at 3am to come to any of your needs, no matter how much she would just want to sit and sleep.

Victoria is a smart woman who can be confusing to figure out at times. She may puzzle you and she maybe seems hard on the surface to confront. Once you do confront her it'll be the best decision you ever made. Victoria once you get to know her for who she really is will blow your mind. Shes usually a smart,kind,energetic,caring,beautiful trustworthy women. Her smile could lift someone's day from 0 to 100 and her voice will soothe you from anything. If your lucky enough to get yourself Victoria you'll never wanna let go. She will stay by your side no matter what she's the silver lining if you ever have a cloudy day. She won't think she's caring,loving,smart athletic etc..... she's very modest she doesn't think high of her self when you tell her all she is. She'll always think she can do better not relationship wise more tiny things. When in reality she's perfect or the closest thing to perfect. And well every time she walks in a room you'll smile and feel a very specific energy that'll make you smile. Victoria is the ideal person to have as a friend or other wise


The most amazing girl in the world. She will always be there for you. She is the one you can love forever. Shes that girl that you cant keep off your mind.

The most beautiful, caring, sweet, and bubbly girl you'll ever meet. She always comes off as so happy and giggly, her laugh is contagious. She can light up the darkest room and make anyone smile simply by being present. No one I know can ever stay mad at her for anything, even when she ignores you, because you know if you loose her you'll never find anyone quite like her. She's super chill, and relaxed. She's not like other girls, she spends most of her time playing Xbox and working at the game store. I think she prefers to be one of the guys, although she remains faithful to whoever she is dating, considering she is always taken. I wish I had a chance with her, even though I know I'd never be good enough, no one is. she has a very beautiful, astonishing, and unique look and personality, one that comes off as both innocent and sexy. She is the definition of perfect, or as close as it gets. She is the girl I want to marry one day.

Victoria is kind, caring, sweet, beautiful and cute. You are a very lucky person to know a Victoria. She often doesn’t see her own talent, but I do. She’s amazing and so full of potential and I remind her of it often. Victoria is remarkable person, she’s perfect, or damn near perfect.

She also is the sexiest person out there and is also very addicting and you can’t get enough of her sexy beauty.

But other than that she is the best person ever. And she is also the greatest girlfriend I could ever have asked for. I honestly don’t know how someone could be so lucky, but I’m glad its me and sharing your life with a Victoria is a fuckn beautiful thing. I love her with all my heart and until the end of time.
