==AndrewC made up words and facts that do NOT exist in the Bible, so that he can resolve the inconsistencies within.
I didn’t see AndrewC making anything up. He merely quoted Gen 4:14 to demonstrate that the Bible clearly states that there were others around who Cain thought might slay him.
==And that is your answer to the problem about Cain’s wife?
I really don’t see a problem. Adam and Eve had other children:
Gen. 5:4 After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters.
Is it really your contention that Adam and Eve did not have any more children between the time Cain and Abel were born and Cain’s murder of Abel? They could have had a dozen or more children by the time Cain and Abel were grown up.
==Please show where the theory of evolution says that mammalian species must arise asexual in nature!
Hmmm...so you won’t accept the rest of the biblical creation account, but in order to save evolution you will accept that God specially created us male and female right from the beginning?
==The Bible also states that Cain married a woman who didn’t exist.
Boy, you sure are willing to twist the Bible in order to allow for Darwin’s materialist creation myth.
==Please see post 66 in this same thread. If you choose not to learn about GAs, that’s your problem, not mine. But any programmer who’s ever used GAs will discount anything you say about GAs if you use Abel’s work because it shows a complete lack of understanding of GAs.
Somehow I doubt that Abel lacks a thorough understanding of how GSs work:
Dr. David Abel:
University of Maryland (C.P.), Virginia Tech (Blacksburg), University of Georgia (Athens) Doctorate 1972
Research interests: Dr. David L. Abel is a theoretical biologist focusing on ProtoBioCybernetics. He is the Program Director of The Gene Emergence Project, an international consortium of scientists pursuing the natural-process derivation of initial biocybernetic/biosemiotic programming and control.
Is it really your contention that Adam and Eve did not have any more children between the time Cain and Abel were born and Cain’s murder of Abel? They could have had a dozen or more children by the time Cain and Abel were grown up.
If you take a strict reading of the Bible, then yes my contention is that Adam and Eve did not have any children between the birth of Abel and the birth of Seth. Genesis 5:4 is unequivocal. AFTER the birth of Seth, Adam lived for 800 years AND he had more children. NOT before the birth of Seth, AFTER the birth of Seth.
The structure of the verse is simple and direct, and there cannot be any question about the timing in that single verse.
If your premise is that Adam and Eve had children after Abel but before Cain slew Abel, then the Bible leaves those facts out. That much we can agree on?
And if the Bible leaves such facts out, then why do you reject the notion that the Bible leaves out some of the scientific details about how Creation may have happened?
Somehow I doubt that Abel lacks a thorough understanding of how GSs work:
Yes, Dr. Abel, a biologist is the authority on genetic algorithms and genetic programming. Wonderful to know such a degree conveys such a wide range of knowledge!
I am sure you will readily accept Dr. Francis Collins as a respected and solid biologist. He's a devoted Christian convert, a world-wide leader in genetics, and Presidential Medal of Freedom winner (from George W. Bush).
Perhaps the fact he also is a supporter of the theory of evolution makes him a whackjob in your mind?
