So anyway, translate Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel to today's time - June 17, 2012.
If Adam and Eve brought Cain and Abel into the world - and Abel died, leaving only Adam, Eve and Cain (now remember we're pretending the Garden of Eden is now, in the present, today and no other people but these three exists.)
How could any other procreation beyond Adam and Eve happen without incest? Who was there for Cain to procreate with? All I want to know is who Cain procreated with when, other than him, there were only his parents.
I'm being asked to think that procreation didn't happen as a result of incest, but not being told what other alternative there was since there was no other woman but Eve on the earth.
Was it a magical thing like the virgin birth?
With regard to insulting the intelligence of someone you don't know who is asking these questions, these are not the kinds of things that a person with limited mental capacity could think of. Hence, it is better to answer the question than to use insults. Are insults towards a person trying to resolve one's issues of faith Christian like? Would your answers to someone struggling with issues of the Christian faith be pleasing to God?
One's lack of understanding regarding an apparent flaw in the Bible about the creation story doesn't equate to making derrogatory comments and name calling. All is does is places Christianity in a very negative light. And if I know Christians are going to call me names because I don't feel something that is over-the-top complex makes sense, how is that going to bring me closer to God.
Why not ask your pastor my creation story question and post an anwer that seems to make sense?
I will not judge those who resort to name calling in the name of God for only they and God know their heart.
