the bible says ...adam and eve were the first people...does it say they are the only people?
i agree with rdean. the bible was written by jews to promote jews...the little tidbits that people tend to ignore....jesus said he came only for the jews....matthew 15:24
Actually, it does imply that they were the only two children before Seth was born. remember, girls don't count as human in Judaism.Read it yourself and tell me why my question was so misunderstanding.
First, it doesn't say that Cain and Abel were the only two children, it just focused on them for the moral. Later on they would have had to have had more anyway. Also, since they were both male it makes no difference what the outcome of the story was anyway.
Just the moral of the story? The bible is the bible and everything in it is supposed to have happened. So, people who beleive in the bible take everything from it as true I suppose. If not, why would they talk about religion and the bible in such serious ways and even quote scripture from it when talking to others and preaching. Also, I have no idea why you are even bringing up the idea of atheists in this thread because I beleive in God. I was simply asking a question to get input from others. Atheists beleive there is no God. You may want to re-word your question. I'm still waiting for someone to answer this question about the bible. Thanks.

I'm so bored with posters that have been here for 10 minutes or in your case 9 posts and think they're going to just jump right in and be taken seriously. You come on like you do and you look like a troll. So oh big surprise when you get treated like a troll.
"Everything in it [the Bible] is supposed to have happened" according to some, not all.
"If not, why would they talk about religion and the bible in such serious ways" because important stuff is usually talked about in serious ways?
"I beleive in God" Do you? Then why not preface your thread with some fucking context? Oh, right. Where would the fun be in that?
"You may want to re-word your question" Nah. You may want to re-word yours tho. Or not. No 1 really cares, either way.
You try and tell me that I am wrong and then tell me that I'm a troll for trying to get the answer to a question. HMM! Seems like your the fucking troll bitch! Can't take the heat then get the fuck out of the kitchen! Again, I was simply trying to ask a question and some on here beleive my question has been answered? What? Where? When? and How the hell has the question been answered? Tell me that. Answer the question and I will respond accordingly. Thanks for your time.
Dude! 3rd time. Cain married his sister. We are all inbred.

It does say that Cain and Abel were the only two children. They may have had more later anyway, but what are their names, where are they mentioned in the bible? Yes. Of course the fact that they were both males brings up a HUGE question. Tell me what happened and how cain was able to reproduce without anyone else. You have still yet to come up with the question asked!!
hint: no one alive today was descended from either cain or able
The Bible is a series of fables, not to be taken literally. There was never a Cain nor an Able nor an Adam nor an Eve.
The Catholic Church rarely mentions that story for exactly the reason above, "incest". It seems to give the green light.
The truth is stories in the Bible were taken from many other religions, letters and writings and rewritten to give them that peculiar Christian slant.
You can't read Genesis literally; it's an allegory.
i agree with rdean. the bible was written by jews to promote jews...the little tidbits that people tend to ignore....jesus said he came only for the jews....matthew 15:24
and then the additional...genesis 12: 1-3...where if you help jews you are bless...if you dont you are cursed...
it is a book of fables...written by men to control society.
That's debatable. and also 
What I'm impressed with is this:
"Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died." - Genesis 5:5
How was Adam able to continue to inseminate his daughters, granddaughters, great-granddaughters, great-great-granddaughters, etc., without the use of Viagra?
