[QUOTE="CoderHead, post: 52657490, member: 247864"] But it doesn't say how old Adam was when Cain and Abel were born. He could have been 100 by the time that happened. You don't even know how long they walked around in the Garden before they were cast out. Genesis 4:1-8 says Cain and Abel were born and then Cain killed Abel. They were obviously at least young men when this happened, so at best we can [I]assume[/I] there was one generation of other offspring present since it was not said that either Cain or Abel had taken a wife or borne any children. That's a very small number of people (relatives) from which to fear death. Finally, in Genesis 4:25 Adam and Eve have another child, Seth. And Adam, at this point, is 130 years old. This says absolutely nothing about how many generations of people were on the Earth at the time of Abel's death. You're inferring a lot from a little. I'm trying not to inject personal opinion disguised as knowledge into this discussion. Oh, I see. God's perfect, holy Word only gives us sketchy details with which we are to derive our own conclusions, however contradictory they may be. Now I see how Christianity has so many Bible versions, denominations, and disparate doctrines. Thanks for clearing that up. Yet, later on when it talks about people marrying people and having children, it seems of vital importance to the author to name hundreds of names. They're not important? They're the very first people inhabiting this planet and propagating the species! [/QUOTE]
