There is one big biblical problem with God creating Adam separately from different races of men. Romans 5:12 says “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”

Sin came into the world by Adam, and therefore all have sinned. But if God created many different “adams” then we are not all descended from the one Adam, are not all sinners, and don’t all need Christ.

Genesis 1 talks about creation of adam. If this passage is referring to God creating various races of men, then why does Genesis 2:5 state “there was not a man [adam] to till the ground.”?

Genesis 1 and 2 are just different naratives of the same event.

The Bible doesn’t mention any other people that Cain went to after the murder of Abel. It does say that he went to live in the land of Nod. He took his wife with him, which of course would have also been his sister, as there wasn’t anyone else around to marry.

The tribes of Israel happen much later, and really have nothing to do with creation.

1)Genesis 1 and 2 are just different naratives of the same event.

1) They are very different to my eyes, Chapter 2 begins after the 7th day

2)The Bible doesn’t mention any other people that Cain went to after the murder of Abel. It does say that he went to live in the land of Nod. He took his wife with him, which of course would have also been his sister, as there wasn’t anyone else around to marry.

2) He bore a “mark”...so as to not be killed by any people that came upon him.....His geneaology is stricken from that of Adam....there was no sister mentioned as going away with him.

3)The tribes of Israel happen much later, and really have nothing to do with creation.

3) The tribes of Israel can be directly traced to Adam and Eve through Seth.

The Bible is a history book of the people descended from Adam, it mentions others only peripherally if at all.

Some of the names of Satan are, the serpent, death, man of sin, King of Tyre, Prince of Tyre, Son of Perdition, even Father of Cain.
