I have a question that i am hoping could be answered by any Judeo- Christian.. Where was Cain forced to go after he killed his brother Abel? The Bible states that Adam and Eve were the only two on the planet. They then had two sons, Cain and Abel. The Bible clearly states that these were the only four people on the globe. After Cain kills Abel, God gave him a mark, AND CAIN WENT TO THE LAND OF NOD AND MET HIS WIFE!!! What? Where did this town and all of these people just come from? There was supposed to be no one else on the globe!!! By the way, all of this can be found in Genesis 4, 16.. Feel free to check it out yourselves. Thanks for reading.

early genesis paraphrases. it would take another book the size of a dictionary to describe each and every person that was born from adam to noah.
quite frankly women were rarely cited in genealogies (or in general), although to be fair they (obviously) dont cite every man born since adam and eve either.

simply put, they left out people who werent important.

That doesn't make any sense at all. Where did Cain's wife come from? Did god miracle her ass to earth like adam and eve or did adam and eve have a daughter? Adam and eve doesn't make any sense what so ever, by the 5th or 6th generation the level of inbreeding would have made them all deaf blind retards.

yes adam and eve had daughters. and as i explained they were simply left out because it was not important.
and if there werent genetic diseases back then then inbreeding would not have much affect in 5 or 6 generations.
although the literal story of adam and eve obviously didnt happen so..

DrDrugs,

Can you give me scripture showing where Cain "MET" his wife there? Because Cain DID NOT meet his wife in Nod. The Bible never says that.

I will post more on this later, right now there is not enough time. I will leave you with this, your statement is not correct and your assumptions are not either.

If constant inbreeding causes deaf blind retards, how do you explain evolution, where we all came from a single life form that evolved, self replicated, and continually bred with itself while evolving over billions of years?

Science has confirmed that they can trace all human life back to a single woman. The copy of a copy problem becomes an issue only because we're thousands of years into the copy at this point, so it can have (not always!) more profound effects in the short term, re: genetic defects.

Some more reading on the subject:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve

One interesting note straight from that page:
"The Human MRCA. All humans alive today share a surprisingly recent common ancestor, perhaps even within the last 5,000 years, even for people born on different continents."
