In the bible it shows that Cain have a wife. Cain was the first of two sons of Adam and Eve, but in the bible it says he has a wife...he's also afraid of people killing him after he killed Abel...but theres no other humans in the world! any thoughts?

Please take your childishness and leave. The Tavern is open 24/7

I think Walker pretty much summed it up, he either married his sister or his mother. Which makes you wonder perhaps if this had actually happened the genetic abnormalities caused from these incestuous relationships decreased the fabled longevity of the bibles people.

That seems to be a very reasonable answer. Hadn't thought of that. But just imagine. A couple spawning what is now almost 7 billion people.

300,000 deaths per day is 208 deaths per minute. If there are 208 deaths per minute and a net increase of 150 per minute, then there are 358 births per minute. (+358/min - 208/min = +150/min).

323 births/minute is 465,120 births/day. 358 births/minute is 515,520 births/day. The average of these two is 340 births/minute or 489,600 births/day.



To put it simply, rabbits learned from people.

Another problem with the entire population coming from just two people is that we would not see the level of genetic diversity we have in our population today.

This is talking about the problem in relation to Noah's ark but it is also applicable for Adam and Eve as well.

You need to remember that they had to reproduce with eachother so I am guessing that his wife was one of his sisters.

Thinking about it the issue of genetics get's even worse when you consider where Eve came from.

Authors? If your going to pretend your the Queen Latifah you should atleast know what your talking about. The Archaeologists found the texts then published them into a book, and Adam did not have sex with a rib, so that makes you the sick one. I doubt you have ever even read the bible so dont make your without any knowledge assumptions, Cain had sisters later on. Stop prentending that you know the bible when you do not Efan.
