[Just mythoughts]

Thanks for your replies. I think that one thing that has bothered me about Genesis is why it did not have some basic information about the nature of things that was unknown at the time. It would have been quite compelling if it had said that the earth went around the sun, or that the speed of light was 186,000 miles/second (or whatever it was in cubits), and that the speed of light is constant for all observers. Or that e=mc2. Facts all known by our Creator, and which would have won over a lot of doubters as the centuries passed.

I can appreciate the word doubt, but my doubt was not in the Creator but in flesh man's rigid requirement only they had power and authority to speak for God. When I first learned of DNA and then what DNA actually demonstrates I knew then there was NO way all of humanity could have come from only two people.

But there is really no difference in a slowed path of evolution and the 'quick like a rabbit' speed of evolution that the two sides continue to argue about.

Cain’s Wife—Who Was She?

“Many skeptics have claimed that for Cain to find a wife, there must have been other “races” of people on the earth who were not descendants of Adam and Eve. To many people, this question is a stumbling block to accepting the creation account of Genesis and its record of only one man and woman at the beginning of history. Defenders of the gospel must be able to show that all human beings are descendants of one man and one woman (Adam and Eve) because only descendants of Adam and Eve can be saved. Thus, believers need to be able to account for Cain’s wife and show clearly she was a descendant of Adam and Eve.

In order to answer this question of where Cain got his wife, we first need to cover some background information concerning the meaning of the gospel.

Adam lived 930 years and no doubt had many many children. In the beginning, the Dna was pure, and the offspring of close relatives were not subject to DNA degredation like we are today which would result in degraded offspring- the taboo against marrying cloe relatives was not in place when the DNA was pure

What makes you think that DNA could not have all come from two original people?
