Before reporting: I’m a mod

With Texas and other states forcing religion in public schools, this now is political.

    To be fair, the book basically never mentions daughters unless they’re plot relevant, so it could be that Adam’s sons were sisterfuckers rather than motherfuckers.

      And after Cain, Abel, and Seth, Adam had multiple other children who are never named. We don’t know who, how many, or genders.

      Genesis 5:4-5

      "4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

      5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."

      That’s it. But I’d imagine you could get a lot of sons and daughters in 800 years…

      Or. Or. The bible is merely allegorical in these descriptions. Naming individuals rather than larger peoples of the world.
