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.
Either way, Genesis is basically the Incest pornhub category.
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.
And in practically all drawings do Adam and Eve have belly buttons - Think about that 🤣
Okay, yeah but…
If god can make people surely he knows how to make belly buttons?
Not the part of the story that seems odd to me
Belly buttons are scars. Sure he could make them but why would he? So that they look like other humans? Sounds like a reason to not do it and make them distinct because they are the first humans.
So they don’t look as stupid in swimming trunks?
To you maybe but you’re not a deity with a plan.
You mean that deity with the plan of just putting the eyes in backwards and threading the nerves through the retina. I think her plan was to tell us she loves octopuses more. They don’t have a blind spot because of messed up nerve routing - but what do I know 🤣
Did you design the octopus?
Fun fact:
Genesis is the history of the Jews, not the history of human beings.
So when Cain and Seth (nobody remembers Seth!) were married, they married outside the faith.
Cain’s wife came from Nod. Seth’s wife isn’t really mentioned.
Abel’s wife is not mentioned, he may have been murdered first.
TIL! Thanks for sharing
Yeah they refer to them as the sons of God marrying the daughters of man, defined as two different peoples. They also mention the Nephilim, or giants being around as well.
But then how were Cain’s wife’s ancestors created (in Nod?), if not from Adam? Is there at least one other act of creation? I get if it’s not mentioned, but surely someone has written fanfic to fill in the gaps.
Sparkly vampires
Again, Adam and Eve weren’t the first people, they were the first Jews. It makes more sense if you catch the proper tense of the first line of Genesis:
In Hebrew:
א בְּרֵאשִׁית,
בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים,
אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם,
וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ.In Latin:
in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram.The English you know:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.The English you don’t know:
In the beginning the Gods created the heaven and the earth.Latin picks up the plural correctly. The King James version does not.
So you might ask, well, wait, if there are other Gods and other people, why aren’t they mentioned?
Surprise! They ARE:
Exodus 20:2-3:
"2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
In other words, there ARE other Gods, but I am yours and you are mine and we are all together, goo goo gajoob!
Wait, that’s not right. ;)

Until you get to the Gnostics, who claim that the Jews had been tricked into worshiping one of the lesser gods. Jesus was sent to fix this.
Prove them wrong.
those motherfuckers!
