    Apparently the biblical explanation is that it’s a sister of Cain. Maybe the daughters births didn’t warrant an extra line in the Bible? It probably doesn’t keep a record of when Adam and Eve acquire new property as that’s mostly what women were considered.

      From the Creation Museum. Directly from their website, so they’re proud of this:

      Number six is my favorite. “Because God said incest was okay back then and who are you to judge?”

        They really said that genetic disease is an accumulation of sin. Like someone is born with Downs Syndrome because their grandmother cheats at rummy.

        No one commented on “get his wife”? I assume a bride mail order catalog? They must have existed back then.

        Not sure I would trust anything from the creation museum to be actually biblical.

        I know there’s an ancient myth about Adam having a first wife before Eve — there’s probably also other myths that fill in the blanks. There’s also nothing stopping God from making more people during this period like he made Adam and Eve. They were probably just the “first batch” so to speak.

        I loved their explanation regarding building the Ark authentically when Noah lived to be over 900 years old. It’s simple really. He built it when he was like 300. You see it makes perfect sense. Next question.
