"Male and female created he them." I believe that's what it says.

The tale is really about the gods (and one specific one) performing genetic engineering on apes. Once the Adam was perfected a female was engineered from material taken from the male.

Later, the Adam obtained knowledge from a source (against the rules) and they were left to fend for themselves.

So there was a breeding population already. Not just just two people. That's how the story is meant to be understood.

Of course, this all requires that you buy into tales passed down from Babylonian till now as being at least partly based on something real and not simply human imagination.

The story is a story about a specific group embodied as starting with Adam and Eve and their son.

There were other people.

The entire text proceeds through time. At no point does it give a vast summary, and then proceed to give you details about that summary. It proceeds from creation to creating Adam and Eve AFTER there are already people around.

Think of how precious writing was. The format of giving an overview and then specifying a specific event that was in the overview, would be highly wasteful.

They are not the first people, they are God's special people. Get it?

Now, proceeding on with the original bent of the OP. Not that I believe this, but I'll run with it.

Why would you then create a male, then a female?

The basis of what you are is in the X chromosone. The Y does not carry very much information. It says things like, my gonads should descend. I make testosterone and androgenes like this for this long and then get triggered at these points. Oh, and I'll need to have my ears shaved when I get older.

The blueprint of what you are is carried on the X. Males are WAY more prone to genetic difficulties due to only having a single copy of every chromosone.

So if you created a hybridization of an X, and wanted to be sure of its stability, letting it grow up a full human from just one copy is the way to go.

Once the hybridization proves out to work, you could create a female by doubling up the X that was proven stable.

Then allow for those copies to start precipitating through the population. Preferentially males, since they can spread their chromosones faster. One woman will max out around 5-15 children in a lifetime to spread along a change. A male can proprogate a change for as many ovulating women as he can leave sperm in. Making sexual aggression a preferential trait to spread this change faster.

Anyways.

If you wanted to add a little panache to this bit of interesting theorization - the X chromosone is significantly "younger" than the Y. You can look up stuff about the "Young X." It is about as interesting and points to something odd about humans in the same way that the "obstetrical dilemma" does.

Is it possible the annunaki expanded their experiments elsewhere in the universe besides earth

Originally posted by ButterCookie
I am a firm believer in the Annunaki (alien race) + Homo Erectus = Homo Sapien...the bible gives so much revelation to this theory but yet, it's hard for modern day relgious folk to take it into account. The Christian 'fairy tale' version is void of logic and should invoke debate, but Christians hate debate because debate exposes the truth

and the truth removes the blanket of comfort of the Fairy Tale sense of creation..

So I pose this very simple question: Where did Cain's wife come from?

Now the Annunaki ( Extraterrestrial) theory explains that beings from Planet Nibiru traveled to Earth on a gold mining misson and decied tho splice their highly intelligent DNA with the DNA of the already-here homo Erectus ( primates) as miners ( tillers of the soil).

After the first wave of the Annunaki scientists exploration and creation new fleets of the Annunaki began to arrive, copying the same creation pattern...which in short explains the different ancient tribes in the biblical period.

When God (lead scientist of the Annunaki) created "Adam and Eve", their offspring were named "Cain and Able". So far that's four humans on Planet Earth...Cain slay his brother Able, leaving three humans remaining ( if you want to believe the Christian version)...Now Cain takes a journey into a distant land and meets his wife...

HIS WIFE??????

Where,oh where did she come from?

Did you actually say that you are a believer in the ANNUNAKI yet the Christians are basing their religion on a fairy tale?


BBBWWWWWWWWAAAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!

Hello kettle? This is the pot. You're black.

Let me begin by saying that my belief is aside from this reply. I am only going to pass on information told to me in a Bible study class the his year.

When I asked the minister to tell me where Cains wife came from he said that the Bible is only the story of Jesus' bloodline. In Genesis 1:27 it states "So God created human beings in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them" in which the minister stated that "Them" was a reference to the idea that he created many other people. Adam and Eve were not the only people that were created, they are only the ancestors of Jesus so their story is the one that is told and followed in the book of the Bible.

Makes sense from their view. My opinion is a whole seperate thread.
