Adam and Eve have to sons (Cain and Abel) this i got from genesis

15 But the LORD said to him, "Not so [e] ; if anyone kills Cain, he 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.

17 Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.


Now my question is how did cain managed to get a wife? There were no other ppl except adam, eve, abel and cain.
Cain was banished to the land of Nod or where ever.
How did he score himself a wife?

Oh yes that is after cain and abel.
But he was banished in the land of Nod. Which means a daughter from adam and eve came along and somehow found cain and somehow fell in love, then had kids of their own.
All the while knowing there were no other ppl existed.
This then brings another topic  "Incest"
Brothers and sisters where having kids and hopping beds all over the place. hmm..

I think there were much more ppl then just adam and eve. They were prolly the only ones recorded in writing.

the bible doesnt mention alot of people because, quite frankly, theyre unimportant. you must also remember that during the period and time that this was written down, women played a small role in life and were generally dismissed. this is why adam and eves daughters arnt mentioned in the bible. does anyone know how many kids they actually had (if its mentioned at all?) cus i dont know and am sort of curious to find out
and if you seriously think the creation story is the most important part of the bible then you need to read this little chunk at the end called the new testament. tbh i dont think the creation is very important at all.
