I agree with what the bible says, but you didn't address the main issue - if God created Adam and Eve - AND Tom and Betty (say) - as you assert, then how do you explain how sin entered the human race through one man, Adam? If as you assert, God also created Tom and Betty... how did sin enter them, who were NOT of Adam?I did not write Genesis 4 - but clearly states the existence of many other human beings
Genesis 4
13 Cain said to Yahweh, "My punishment is too great to bear.
14 This Means That You miss me this today and I ground to hide from your Presence, a fugitive and wanderer on the earth, and whoever I Will Kill Finds me. "
If were not others people - who could kill Cain?
15 Lord answered: "On the Contrary, whoever kills Cain, sevenfold him." And the Lord put a mark on Cain so That Should anyone Who found him, not kill him.
And these people of which God speaks?
16 Cain left the Presence of the Lord, and Settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
17 Cain knew His Wife and she Gave birth to Enoch.
Does the Bible lie? Where did his wife?
He was building a city, and Called It Enoch, as the name of His son.
18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad begat Mejuyael, begat and begat Methuselah Mejuyael Lamech Methuselah.
19 Lamech Took two wives: Adah the first call, and the second chair.
Where did the wives of the sons of Cain?
That is the crux of the issue - Romans 5:12 "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned..."
Adam and Eve are the progenitors of the entire human race, being the first man and woman God created. That much ought to be clear.
Another thing we know is that they lived some 900+ years. That's a long time in which to procreate, and procreate, and procreate - and a long time for those they bore to procreate, and procreate - and their children to procreate... That is how the human race spread - and sin with it. There can be no "Tom and Bettys."
