there are NO glitches in God's Word.\n\n"The Bible does not give us a specific number (to how many kids they had). Adam and Eve had Cain (Genesis 4:1), Abel (Genesis 4:2), Seth (Genesis 4:25), and many other sons and daughters (Genesis 5:4). With likely hundreds of years of child-bearing capability, Adam and Eve likely had 50+ children in their lifetime."\nSince Adam and Eve were the first (and only) human beings, their children would have no other choice than to intermarry. God did not forbid inter-family marriage until much later when there was enough people that intermarriage was not necessary (Leviticus 18:6-18). \nFYI - With Adam and Eve being created perfect, there were surely highly resistant to diseases and illnesses. Over time, though, as a result of sin, human beings became more and more susceptible to death and disease - which resulted in a drastically reduced lifespan.

May be a plan, not sure. I actually believe Adam & Eve were God's first man/woman creation. They lived in Eden. Then God created more people in other areas outside of Eden. So, the Sons most likely found other women outside the Garden. But, that what I think, many other ideas on this.\nDang it Mainworry again. :-p Not seen you in a while; God Bless!

Beacause Ishmael was the first born son and only him could possibly have been an only son, before Isaac was born. Isnt that obvious.

No, Eve was not created with Adam.  There is the legend of Lilith, the first woman, she refused to do what Adam told her and she flew off to eventually marry Salathiel (an Angel gone bad) and they had some hellashish creature babies.  OOOOOO now the Christians are gonna jump me, they ought to check out how many of each kind of animal was on the ark, and who really killed Goliath, and were did the Sons of Anak come from if all the giants died in the flood.  Just a few inconsistencies in that great book.  But I believe in what is right, my own version, and if their versions every denomination can be "the way," then so can mine, but only for me!  Thanks man, this was fun.

It never says in the bible that God exclusively created Adam and Eve, it's metaphorical.  It's actually commonly believed among christians and non-christians that there were more people around.  e.g. when Cain was banished for killing his brother Able, he went out into the world and said to God, 'but if anyone finds out I killed my brother surely they will kill me' and God replied 'I will mark you so that any man who lays a hand on you you will be avenged sevenfold.' (or words to that effect).  So there must have been other people.\n\nAlso, when out there I believe he found a wife and had children just like everyone else.  There were lots of other people around at that time.\n\nBesides, I'm still of the arguement that it doesn't matter how it happened, it only matters who made it happen.  There are certain things beyond our understanding and certain things we don't need to know.

God married them, just like God marries EVERY man and wife. Adam actually officiated his own wedding and God served as the witness. (Genesis 2:23-25)

Neither were the first to be born.  Humans came from a large group of primates that evovled into humans, so there was never just one human to begin with.  Religion gives an oversimplified explanation of where humans came from with no evidence other than stories that were written thousands of years ago to prove their point.

As you can see, the people who answered this question don't get what you asked.\n\nIf adam and eve were real, the intercourse between them would have been fine, but the intercourse between their children wouldn't have.\n\nFurthermore, it is enirely impossible for a species to have been wholey propogated from two individuals.  The resultant inbreeding would have extinguished the species.  Or, at least, they'd be too retarded to even know how to breed.

Well, Adam lived to be 930 yrs old and Eve lived almost a long.  It was only later that God reduced the amount of years a man could love.  During this time they had many many sons and daughters.  And these sons and daughters married and reproduced as well.  I know what you're thinking; incest.  When God gave Moses the law He stopped immediate family members from marrying.  So, 930 years one can make a lot of babies.

Some one asked a very similar question to yours a couple of days ago, questioning where Cain "found" his wife, however the so called "scholars" answered with the following :\n\n\n1. He married his sister\n2. There were other people on earth before God created Adam & Eve (which insinuates that some of us are not descendents of Adam & Eve and are therefore not created by God)\n3. The story is just metaphorical.\n\nThere are many other variations to the story and no "one" common belief among the biblical scholars. Which just goes to show that the story is not true. How could it be when the first form of written communication took place thousands of years after the Adam and Eve era? That would mean that the "story" was verbally communicated from generation to generation until it could be documented.

since the dawn of time there has been enmity between people.  out of the first family, Cain slew his own brother Abel.  it is called Evil, i guess

Wow, your question was confusing, I had to re-read it a few times. But, it's not a dumb question and I dont think it was a mean spirited question. Adam was the first man, fashioned from the dust and the breath of God in the image of God. Eve was the first woman made of Adams rib and the breath of God. They had children, namely 3 sons, Cain, Able, and Seth. So if you keep reading the bible from there, there are geneologies and you can see who begat whom on down the line. Long after Adam and many of his descendants had died, from the lineage of King David, a woman named Mary was bethrothed to a man named Joseph. Mary was indeed a virgin as she was not yet married. The Angel of the Lord came to her and told her that she was pregnant with our Savior, the Son of God.  What a daunting message, but God prepared for her just the right fiance, who loved her enough that at this seemingly crazy tale that he decided to preserve her life, her honor and put her away in secret. Well, the Angel of the Lord came to Joseph too, and told him that it is true, the baby is God's and your fiance's still a virgin (to paraphrase) If you read the Bible you'll get a more detailed version of this piece of History. The Baby Jesus grew to be a Man, all His life Jesus was close to God, His Father and prayed to him, because God is 3 persons, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. So, although Jesus is very much God, He is the Son of the Father. So, that is why Jesus is completely perfect and had no sin, and was able to sacrifice himself for us. At that moment when Jesus asked the Father "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do" He was extending that same grace to us too, even now. Jesus did not escape crucifixion, he did not escape death. He conquered death, he conquered the old law of the old testament that said there must be a sacrifice, a blood atonement for all sins. We were all born into sin because of Adam and Eve chosing to follow thier flesh and give in to temptation. We were permanantly severed from God, and still are if we dont believe that Jesus is God made flesh, and is God's Son. We must believe that and believe that Jesus did die that day on the cross, that he laid in a tomb dead, but was resurrected on the 3rd Day and that he ascended into heaven very much alive and there he sits at the right hand of the father, leaving The Holy Spirit ever interceding for us. That is the truth and the only way to be allowed into God's presence upon our death here on Earth. There is no blaspemy in that. Jesus was brought to trial for that, because he in no uncertain terms claimed his rightful title as The Son of God. He was found faultless by Pilate, however, the crowd shouted "Crucify Him" and took a foul murderer to be released and the mob sentanced thier own King thier own Savior to die. But, it was what had to be done. Jesus said before his crucifixion, "No one takes my life, I willingly lay it down".

That is a great question that we will unfortunately never find the accurate answer to.\nAlthough, it only says in the Bible that Adam and Eve were the FIRST man and woman God created...I don't think it ever said they were the ONLY one's he created, if your looking for answers regarding the Bible.\nI'd also like to add that genetically, it's next to impossible to have a healthy child created in incest, especially as close as brother and sister. If those problems exist now, then reason says they would exist way back then as well. So, I think either God created more people, or Adam and Eve were the first "modern humans" along the evolution chain. I'm a bit undecided about it since I believe in God along with evolution...kind of weird, huh?

As others have pointed out, Adam had other sons and daughters. Genesis chapter five, verse four says, "Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters."\n\nWhen you read through Genesis, you'll notice the writer only follows one line (i.e. genealogy). Starting with Adam, we follow the line, but numerous times the line splits when individuals forfeit the purpose of God. The line that forfeits the purpose is not mentioned again. The line that is followed is the faithful "family" that carries out the plan of God and eventually ends at Jesus Christ (see Matthew chapter 1).

All humans are related in one way or another, but not because of Adam, he never existed! it would take more then just 2 people to make the human race flourish and multiply! You would have to be a complete fool to actually believe that there were only 2 people in the beginning. Scientist will tell you that you need at least 15 - 20 of the same species for them to survive, otherwise they would die out.

Does it matter? Only the descendants of Seth survived the flood.\nBut to answer your question - He married one of his many unnamed sisters. - The Bible says that he had children in Nod - the Bible does NOT say that he met his wife there.\nThe Bible clearly states that Eve (Cain's mother) is the mother of ALL living, and that Adam and Eve had many children (unnamed sons and daughters) over a period of 800 years (Adam lived for 930 years).

Every time Eve got pregnant, she bore Adam twins: always a male and a female. This is how the earth started to get populated. Back then, seeing how few humans were, the main rule of reproduction was that no brother or sister was allowed to marry the twin they were born with. That was the system ordained by God for Adam and his children to follow. Adam acted as their ruler, prophet, and father. Among his children were Cain and Able. Cain – believed to be Adam’s first son – was born with a beautiful twin sister; but Able, on the other hand, was born with a less attractive one. Though Cain desired his sister of birth, he was prohibited from marrying her. So she was given to Able. This caused Cain to hate his brother. Then Adam got inspired by God on how to resolve the matter: whoever’s sacrifice gets eaten up by fire will gain the right to marry Cain’s twin sister. Cain, who was a farmer, sacrificed a bunch of dry plants. He did not put his heart into it. Able, however, who was a shepherd, sacrificed one of the best cows he had. So the fire consumed his sacrifice, making Cain even more jealous of him. That's why Cain killed Able.\n\nAs for sacrifice in Islam in general: During the time of the pilgrimage, some people sacrifice animals for the sake of God and distribute them to the poor. This has been criticized by ignorant non-Muslims who compare this to sacrifices made by disbelievers. The Qur’an elaborates on this by saying: “It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches God but your piety. He has subjected them to you in this way so that you may glorify God for having guided you.”
