Ahh, the wonders of incest. Seriously, the Bible tells that Cain married his sister Awan (or Jumelia, how she's known in the Hebrew texts), while Abel was married to another sister, Azura (Balbira in the Hebrew texts). After Cain killed Abel, Azura was married (presumably her opinion didn't really count) to another of their brothers, Seth. Instant brain bleach and, after all that, they call the Bible "the good book".

My question was always, when Cain slew Able 'God' put a mark on his head so the "other People" would know he murdered his brother. Who were the "Other People"? Where did the land of Nod come from? Right from the beginning that book is BS.

Hi ya I asked this question at Sunday School years ago in the bible it says that Cain who killed his brother Abel took a wife from the land of nod did he dream her into reality?? And then along comes Noah's flood and the world is refused to 3 brothers and there wives to start populating the earth it smacks of a lot of incest I was not popular at Sunday School because I asked to many questions haha

If I might interject; after Adam, Eve, and their kids (they had more than two sons, I think Alexandru covers them all), were done with their debauchery, God wiped out almost all of humanity, apart from Noah and his family, so they had to repopulate the planet once again. So while Adam and Eve started the trend, they weren't the only ones to do it.

In Islam, there was no sibling incest. After Adams kids were born, the sons were married to two more women God made himself. Then after that I guess cousins married each other which you'd be surprised how many countries still practice to this day. Not saying it's right but yea

To be honest, that's exactly the question I was wandering about when I was a little kid. Then I started inventing scenarios on what happened next. Maybe later they had a daughter that was not so popular. But, wait, incest is not right, correct? So, I guessed.... Maybe they were the first humans, but there were other humans in other parts of the world who were born the same way as Adam and Eve, it just happened chronologically afterwards.

In the Bible they have many more children than just Cain and Able. Cain and Able are just the ones we have all heard of.

Ok, so the bible never actually specified that Adam and Eve were the ONLY people, just the first. But while that proves that there may not have been incest, the prophet who wrote it kind of screwed it up in Noah's Ark, because how could there not be at least a little incest. Because now, we know that the were the only humans there, and there weren't really many other options not pointing to incest. Lol, I love the bible

The Bible said that they were the first people created. Not the only people created.

Would Adam and Eve have even been married? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Good thing that’s just a silly story. Once they were banished from Eden (it was just a garden, after all), all of a sudden, they had to deal with other people. So.... And then there’s the story of Noah and his family. They had to repopulate the earth? Buwahahahaha!

What I really want to know is where did all the stupid people come from...

What about Noah and his family? Where did the grandchildren come from?

in family breeding

Technically Eve was his second wife so there was another. Lillith who supposedly became the mother of demons but if you also look at it from a non biblical perspective there were others Eden was just a place set apart from everywhere else for them.

Depends on what Bible version you read. Some include the fact that outside of Eden, there were other tribes of humans...including a lady named Lilith. God only created Adam and Eve and also said to Moses for the 10 Commandments: "You shall not worship any gods before me" which leads you to believe that there are other gods as well as "God".

I n c e s t Nah, just kidding. The bibles pretty damn innacurate,

Intermarrying. Read it before you challenge it without any knowledge.

Depends what version of the old testament you read but I'd say there was a little incest going on there ;)

Let's not forget poor Lilith. Rejected by Adam in favour of Eve because she couldn't give him children. Perhaps like Elizabeth (Mary's cousin) she got lucky in later life with Seth or one of the other "forgotten" ones

Heaven!

Incest

Why would you think that Adam and Eve is the ONLY human created by God and eaten the forbidden fruit by the temptation of Satan?

mind=blown

I didn’t even know they had kids😐

God sent Adam & Eve to REPLENISH the Earth. Kind of tells me there were people here before & possibly still here when they were sent. Just saying,

Adam had sex with apples, lots and lots of apples. Also there were other dudes with Eve, but Adam wasn’t very bright... you now, the apples thing.

The devil

Pretty gross

The Bible didn't say everything at that time, but it's a record of all that could be documented at the time. In all realism, no origins of the universe theories make sense, as they weren't documented. The Bible definitely gives many answers to such, and I'm positive that it wasn't incest, XD

Umm, maybe you should actually read the Bible before discussing its "errors". The Bible specifically names a third son, Seth, and then says, Genesis 5:4, that after Seth, Adam and Eve had "other sons and daughters". Both are plural, both in English and in the original Hebrew, so besides 3 named sons at least 2 others sons and 2 daughters.

It's probably a huge minority, but there's also Asexual couples

Let me know if you find some. I too have been wondering quite a while

Except, of course, that region didn't have apples,which are a Northern fruit. That was a steal from several prior religions, usually used to describe why we have colder periods of weather. And, of course, they needed a religious 'reason' to put women down. Worked pretty well. Great excuse. Did you know it was responsible for the reason that women weren't allowed to use painkillers in childbirth for many centuries?
