Imbred.

Adam and Eve continued to have children and those children had children and so on and so on.

Pretty much the only choice they had.

But thats just a theory. Nobody will know for sure and those who say they do are idiots.

I figured someone would say "inbred/incest" which seems like the explaination...

but it doesn't fit. Why?

He left home and traveled, then met her....

Plus remember the bible is very detailed oriented when it comes to children that the ancients begat (naming each child that a person had)...Cain's wife is not mentioned in the list of Adam and Eve's offspring.

Do you know how old Cain was when he me his wife?

Do you know how many children Adam and Eve had?

If you go by the bible then they lived almost a thousand years. That is plenty of time for them to have enough children that they moved to a differant land and expand the human race.

Nobody said the children never moved.

And the bible only listed the begats of the important people. Unless you want us to think that in the thousand or so years that Adam and Eve were married they only had 2 children.

Adam and Eve were certaininly 'important' people of the bible, so why would some of their offspring be omitted in their lineage?

Also, the word 'sister' is prevelant in the bible and if Cain's wife was his sister, shouldn't it state so?

And?

My post above could explain the other tribes.

Children move away and expand the human race. We don't know how old Cain and Abel were when Abel was murdered.

There's lots of points that need to be made before we even start answering the question.

1. You put forth your science fiction story as the truth and call the account in the Old Testament a "fairy tale"? Really? It sounds like both are stories to me.
2. It wasn't a Christian story. It was a Hebrew story. Old Testament.
3. You're generalizing over a billion people every time you make a blanket statement about Christians.

Now as for Cain's wife, there are a few choices.
1. If you believe that Adam and Eve were the only people "made" by God, you have to assume that Cain's wife was his sister. Not the best situation.
2. If you believe however that God made more than Adam and Eve, then you could believe God made Cain's wife.
3. If you believe that Adam and Eve weren't the only people around but were specially selected to be in the story, Cain would have his choice of other humans.

It mostly depends on what you believe. I think I'm somewhere between 2 and 3.

Adam and Eve were important.

Cain was important because he started an important tribe of people.

His wife/sister didn't do anything. Once the two were married they were no longer brother and sister. They were husband and wife, so no it does not matter if they don't say that they were siblings.

Look at it this way, if they listed all the begats then the bible would be enormous. They listed only those who were important to the stories.

I asked a priest the same thing and I asked with an open mind. He gave me this scenerio and given the years they lived this could be possible.

You asked a question and gave you an answer. Now you are going round and round with it. I hope you find an answer that suits what you are looking for. Maybe someone will tell you that his wife was another species of alien, seems you like that theory.

Yes, I know the answer...its posted in the OP ( different tribes from the different scientists)...

The question was written sarcastically, as to open debate.

Is this some kind of poem or riddle or something I need a decoder ring for?

Please, if you're going to post something, have it make a touch of sense.

From information I've read regarding Annunaki (I'm quite a follower aswell) it says that Adam & Eve were not 2 people rather 2 groups of people (logic would dictate men and women)

If the Annunaki stories are true, and I find them to make a lot more sense than the bible or any other religious text then they would not create only 2 beings to help them, it would have been a race of slaves dumbed down so as not to rebel or set off on their own... but depending on whose side of the story you read that is pretty much what happened lol.

Extremely interesting to me aswell, I prefer the idea of cosmic creators, being as there is still the 'missing link' in evolution - more than likely a test tube! And the fact that we have only 10% of our brains at our disposal and the rest seems to be locked away for some reason, and us being the only creatures on this planet with a conscience is pretty weird too..

To know the Bible is to know only part of the story of mankind.

The Catholic church as well as the Council of Nicaea (there were two C.O.N.'s) was responsible for what was, and what was not included in the canonization of the content from Genesis to Revelations.

I have never believe the Bible as factual, knowing that facts were left out, because if you are to believe the version of the story as told according to the King James version, or any other for that matter, incest is implied through leaving out information altogether as to where Cain's wife was found, or did God forget to pass that bit of information down to the Hebrew's, did they conveniently leave it out, or did the Council of Nicaea vote to leave it out.

Another example of a control mechanism, the church, editing and selectively telling us what they want us to believe, because where is the record from after the birth of Jesus until he turned twelve/thirteen when he spoke against the Pharisees, as well as the lapse of time between then until he was thirty?

If you exclude information this is make people believe a certain way, period.

Propaganda was not a Government creation, it was the Church's baby first.

Aliens? I would re-think that hypothesis if I were you.

Like I said in my first post. Only an idiot would claim they know the answer to a question like yours.

I thought it was very clear friend.
ps. Speaking in riddles as you call them is a form of intelligence used to hide the truth from those who dont really seek it good day.
