a question which I think has no answer

that is a tricky situation there. There are only 2 possible answers: 1. God made others, but only Adam and Eve were mentioned, because they were first or 2. Some incest took place or you can always go with option 3 which assumes that maybe the whole theory is incorrect.

She came through the Stargate.

haha nice one I think that is right... I mean no one knows who orr where the wife came from. but I think there could have been incest going on before based on stories that alsobtaken from the bible.

I am not sure, and I think that is a very good question. Did Adam and Eve not have a daughter, too, maybe that wasn't documented in the Bible? That is the only thing that I can think of to be honest with you, otherwise I don't have a clue. The thing is with the Bible, I think that a lot of it is more metaphor than concrete truth. We can learn some amazing lessons from it, and I certainly have done in my life, so there is no need to think this deeply about absolutely everything that you read in it because the lessons are still there for you regardless.

Don't remember any wife being there. I thought he banged his mother. Not so unusual if you consider how Catholic priests behave.

Awesome thread. I'm very amused by all of this so far. I think the bible clearly stated that God created Adam in his imagine. He then created Eve from Adam's rib. Not sure what that makes them but if they had kids together it probably counts as incest. Someone needs to draw a family tree. That would be interesting.

There are other beings aside from us humans, eventhough this beings have the same physical atrributes as us. It was only Adam and Eve that is created as Humans the rest are beings that can be considered as Angels... or what we might want to call it...

Who told you dear that there is no answer to that? Remember that Adam and Eve was still alive so it is but natural that they produced more children so Cain's wife was of course one of her sisters who was born soon after. It is also very possible that Adam and Eve produced more children of different gender and there was intermarriage within the family circle which was not prohibited then. So there... That is the reason why they multiply.

Adam and Eve had to have had many children, but only 3 are named in the bible, Cain, Abel and Seth.

I am more intrigued by the races - the white race, the yellow race..........How did that happen? And talking about Cane's children it is only now that incest is taboo but it was not so in those days.

I've read the different theories. As some myLotters have said, it is proposed that Adam and Eve had other children and that Cain married one of the daughters. I think that God could have made other women. The Adam and Eve story leads to the Jewish race. So God could have created others and this may be in the tales of other groups. It reminds me of the flood. Was Noah the only one who survived? There are other flood stories that shows that there were probably other Noah types. My belief though is that some type of alien is involved. Bruno was burned at the stake for suggesting to the Catholic Church that other "earths" might exist. They could be aliens or a type of angel, but somebody breeded with Adam's daughters. In Genesis 6:2 it says that during Noah's time, the "sons of God" married the "daughters of men" because the daughters of men were "fair." So some other beings were in the mix and probably so when Cain was young. I feel there were other beings because Cain had built a city. You need people to build a city. It could also be that there were other types of men. Scientists tell us about the Neanderthals and the modern humans. Perhaps his wife was a Neanderthal. So there were other types of beings, perhaps the Neanderthals, the modern humans, and the Sons of God (angels or aliens or whomever).

Yes, your question does have an answer. This is the problem many Christians & even some Bible Scholars have with their understanding of the Holy Bible. To understand fully what was written & why, one should ideally be at a similar level spiritually to those who wrote or experienced these things in the first place. Failing that, we would be well advised to take a lengthy course in Allegory. It would be well worth your while if you wish to fully understand much of what was written in the Holy Bible. Allegory is not mere symbolism... there is much, much more to it. It is one of the most ancient arts of the written language. Moses was skilled in it, as were many of those who originally wrote many of the books that make up the Holy Bible today. Adam & Eve never actually existed, neither did Kane nor Abel, nor the sacrifices in the literal sense. The story is very very similar to that of Eros and Psyche, and so many others of all Religions. This parable was published to convey very important, but otherwise secret, mystical teachings which out of necessity, needed to be kept from a clever & crafty priesthood, but clothed in seemingly good moral teachings to the unschooled eye so they could be published & proliferated amongst the people. Were the Prophets, then, shedders of blood? God forbid; they dealt not with things material, but with spiritual significations. Their lambs without spot, their pure white doves, their goats, their rams & other sacred creatures, are so many signs and symbols of the various graces and gifts which a mystic people should offer to heaven. Without such sacrifices there is no remission of sin. But when the mystic sense was lost, then carnage followed, the prophets ceased out of the land, and the priests bore rule over the people. Then, when again the voice of the prophets arose, they were forced to speak plainly, & declared, in a language foreign to their method, that the sacrifices of God are not the flesh of bulls or the blood of goats, but holy vows & sacred thanksgivings, their mystical counterparts. As God is a spirit, so also are his sacrifices spiritual. What folly, what ignorance, to offer material flesh and drink to pure power & essential being!

I don't think it is a question without an answer, it just has answers that nobody likes and cannot prove anyway. Most likely, "the wife" must have been a monkey. Second best guess is that Eve became his wife when Adam was no longer around or become unable to produce chidren, this is consistent with some old tribal practices. Aliens might actually rank third, and God making him a wife is much lower on the list because He seems a bit of a braggart in Genesis and I don't think He would have left that out.

As a Christian and a scientist I can answer this old chestnut. From your spelling it is apparent that you are more familiar with Orson Welles or Jeffrey Archer than the Bible. If you and other contributors had read the latter properly, you would have noticed Genesis 5v4, which says that Adam begat sons and daughters; which will explain how both Cain (note the spelling)and Seth(I wonder why none of the half-baked sceptics seem to asked about him!) got their wives: They married their sisters (Yes, one contributor considered this, but missed Genesis 5v4), as did all Adam's other sons. So what about this retardation as a result of inbreeding question? Actually, God did not forbid incestuous marriages until the time of Moses (Abraham was married to his half-sister), when that prohibition was included in the list of commandments given to the latter - other civilisations seem to have acquired this prohibition around the same sort of time. Why? Because the deterioration in the gene pool through inbreeding and resultant deterioration in health and lifespan from the time of Noah up to that time was within God's plan, but further rapid deterioration (through inbreeding and, possibly also, environmental factors - actually, we continued to deteriorate, but a lot more slowly, this deterioration now being masked by modern medicine) was not - animals had also deteriorated and this is most noticeable in the reptiles, whose age is reflected throughout life by their size. So why did the lifespan not decrease before the flood? Well, at that time the gene pool was large enough for deterioration not to have any effect on health and lifespan, at least in those whose details Scripture has recorded. But the flood reduced the gene pool to the genes in three brothers and their wives (who would have to have been quite distant cousins for genetic, mitochondrial "Eve" (actually, the common matrilineal ancestor of Mrs Shem, Mrs Ham and Mrs Japheth, who may or may not have been Eve) to have lived so long before genetic, Y-chromosome "Adam" (actually, Noah), as science indicates). This was a massive reduction in the gene pool, and the ensuing deterioration then began to have an effect on health and lifespan. But the inability to answer this question for yourselves is by no means the most serious consequence of not reading your Bible. The eternal destiny of your souls is so much more important, and I would urge you to read it diligently, starting with the Gospel of John and calling upon God to reveal His way of salvation to you.

Well considering how we are all suppose to be related in some way I am taking it that maybe Adam and eve had more children they did not mention or god did not mention other people that were made. I know the whole bible is like a V.C Andrews book (incest everywhere!)

These are all mere stories. You are supposed to enjoy and accept them. If you start to question, you will discover they are no more than stories. We are all meant to THINK!!! Yes, I can see you are doing just that. Good for you!!

Adam and Eve had many children. Not each and ever one was listed.

Well, this is my version, Adam and Eve have two children : that is two children with male gender and two children female gender -but it's not mentioned!!.Two female is one has beautiful face but one other is ugly.So the center here is Kane and Abel plus one beautiful girl that made them get mad,hahahahaha :D What do you think?

this is what i said before, hahaha.... starting with a myth therefore the outcome is also a myth.... if air is your source of seed, typhoon Frank is the wages.... and besides, if Kane got a wife (of of the Daughter of Adam and Eve) his sister, then that is called "INBREEDING".... they will only produce a child of a retarded.... no such myth allows that Inbreeding before is allowed by God... there is no myth existing in this world... all is explainable in a natural process but not in myth... therefore, if retarded is the source of seed due to Inbreeding, the Go and Multiply of humans will produce all retarded childrens.... and if you said that this is a question which having no answer... then this is true.... as long as there is no Scientific Proven Evidence to support such claims, it will only remains as a MYTH....

hmmm thats good question.. hmmm i think she came from a broken bamboo. hehehehe
