You seem to be arguing against yourself. Pick a lane.

Is the universe beginning (Genesis 1:1) a fable?

Its an allegory Adam and Eve are metaphors. It never happened in reality.

The universe beginning didn't really happen?

Maybe learn some science.

AI Overview

The wives of Cain and Abel are not mentioned by name in the Bible, but are traditionally understood to be their sisters or other close female relatives from Adam and Eve's descendants, as they were the only people on Earth at that time. The Book of Jubilees, a non-canonical text, identifies Cain's wife as Awan and claims Abel married Azura.

Biblical Account

• Cain's wife:
  The Bible states in Genesis 4:17 that Cain "knew his wife" and she bore him a son, Enoch, but her name is not given.
  

• Abel's wife:
  The Bible does not mention Abel marrying, and because he was killed by Cain, he is not described as having children or a wife.
  
  

Traditional and Non-Canonical Explanations

• Sister marriages:
  The prevailing view is that Cain married a sister, niece, or female cousin to fulfill God's command to "be fruitful and multiply" in the early generations of humanity.
  

• Book of Jubilees:
  This ancient text, not part of the biblical canon, identifies Cain's wife as Awan, a daughter of Adam and Eve.
  
  
  
• Jewish Tradition:
  Some interpretations, including those found in Midrash, suggest Cain and Abel were born with twin sisters, and a dispute over marrying the additional third sister may have led to the killing of Abel.

and what were their names?

That information was never provided

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Genesis Ch 1 verse 26,27,28 refers to man plural
Genesis Ch2 refers to man singular in a garden that was made after the creation.

That doesn't mean what you interpret it to mean.

It's a collection of wisdom. How to live and how not to live. Try not to turn it into a golden calf.

It is also 1/3 HISTORY and 1/3 PROPHECY

This is what happens when people pick and choose what they want to believe. Everything begins to fall apart and you gain no more biblical understanding

If you believe it really happened you wont understand what it means.

The New Testament give credibility to the history of Genesis

"By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks"

Why do you play this game in every thread you start? It gets a little tiresome.

Abel had no wife as he had been murdered by Cain.

You mean married men couldn't be murdered?
