    Because I dont know what's in the holy books of Jews or Muslims.

    I asked these questions because I wanted to see what the Bible's response to them was, if I wanted to humiliate Christians I'd just make fun of --------- straight out. So stfu, and gtfo of my topic assface.

    So you really want to know whether Adam and Eve committed incest with their children? You honestly think that that is respectful to ask of Christians? Honestly, do you think that is appropriate? You and I both know that it is not (and you also know that --------- does not condone incest, right?). The question is designed to humiliate Christians, not to satisfy a curiosity. The way you present the question implies, without any other possibility, that Adam and Eve's children committed incest. Don't get angry because you're ignorant.

    As for Adam and Eve, just because they were the original people on Earth does not mean that they were the only people out there. Who is to say that there weren't more people outside of Eden? Besides, Adam and Eve were both expelled from Eden before they had their children. Genesis says that God "scattered them throughout the land and confused their tongues (languages)." That indicates that there were others out there. Adam and Eve had their children while settling somewhere outside the garden of Eden, making it quite possible that their son (because Abel was killed by Cain...) had a child somewhere along the road. Add in the other people's children and you have a human population.

    As for the Native Americans, they probably crossed a land bridge. Those of different cultures adapted to their climates and surroundings. Hell, it could just be genetic mutations that changed skin color or height or anything else.

    My question still stands: why do you not ask the same of Jews and Muslims, "assface?" Not doing so shows that you are singling out Christians and their religion in particular, "assface." It also shows me that you're ignorant among other things.

    And telling me to "shut the fvck up" and "get the fvck out" of your topic while calling me an "assface" is really quite mature of you. Hell, who says "assface" anyway? A sixth grader that just learned what a curse is?

    You may have noticed, I dont care for appropriatness. And you said that the bible condoned incest anyway, so I dont see why that's wrong to ask.
    Blablablablabla couldn't be bothered reading.

    You fvcking idiot. Learn to read.

    I don't give a ---- if you don't care whether or not you offend people. Those who are offended do care. Grow the hell up. And if you want to complain that I supposedly called you a "racist" and an "anti-semite" as you've said in the IRC (I did not, by the way. You just said that you didn't bother reading - how can you make those claims?), remember that you've just showed yourself to be:
    - Disrespectful of others
    - Ignorant
    - Mocking --------- with innappropriate questions such as those you asked (i.e. Christianophobic - racism, except against the religion of --------- [works for Islam and Judaism as well; fill in the blank])

    Two out of three of those break the GR rules ;).

    Spreading them through the land, and confusing the language was well after Adam and Eve...it was after Noah died...which, well...was a long time after Adam and Eve...

    Did it say Adam and Eve? No, that is in fact later. I just said "in Genesis."

    Having said that, it also says Seth "went throughout the land and had thirty sons and thirty daughters." "Throughout the land" indicates that he... well... went somewhere else, indicating that there were other people out there. The "spread throughout the land" was just to point out that there were others out there. I'm sorry if it came across wrong.

    I can understand questioning or not believing in God, but it is wrong to criticize others for their beliefs. I have plenty of atheist friends who respect that I follow the Catholic faith. I don't try to force Catholicism on them either so its really no problem... People should just learn to be accepting of others' faith and everyone would be a little happier.

    1 & 2 - Adam and eve were nto necessarily white, in fact it has been ntoed that they were brown. I seem to recal hearing once that the skin colors diverged with noahs sons, one being white, another being brown and a final one being black.


    also, it never said that they only had two sons it's safe to assume they had many many more, it even specifically said albiet indirectly that thye have a daughter as Cain is banished with a wife.


    if you want to get technical then yes, guys were with their sisters, but adam and eve most likely did not commit adultery with their children.



    3 - skrew the adam and eve part, go all the way to noah since all mankind was killed off at that point.
    one of his off spring apparently went by boat to North America. IS that so far fetched? Sea levels were much higher and ti is liekly that the land surrounding ararat was becoming crowded so they moved.

    I remember reading the Bible saying Cain found a wife( name forgotten) and then had children. The problem is with the wife. You notice in the Bible that they list genealogy specifically and longly too. If Adam and Eve had other children than Abel and Cain, the Bible surely will write it out. I think Cain's wife is one of the loophole.

    yeh great logic ^


    you have ANY DAMN IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE THERE ARE?
    no way they will be mentioned. only the important ones are mentioned. The reason again is that there is no damn way to make a book aside from divine intervention which would included EVERY LITTLE DETAIL. Then it would eb even harder for one to analyze and understand it. And don't include the everything is possibel with God counterarguement, he decided that humans would have finite intellect and wehre it woudl eb and he made the bible accordingly long.

    Why not? God is Omniscience, he should know better enough to mention certain characters that are important to the story line. And why did he even list sons of Abraham and etc. ? Was it so important to do so? He just list them out and not explain their lives. He might as well said he has this x of sons untill x time.

    A Muslim Point of View:

    They had more than 2 kids.

    I don't know if you know this, but God made humans adaptable to their environment. (ex. Eskimos are fat and short in order to preserve heat)

    There was only one big continent back then.
