Quote:Genesis 5:4 says that Adam had other sons and daughters. Cain was obviously afraid that some of them would want avenge Abel's death.
This was also written after Cain had been banished, along with, the way it references Adam's sons and daughters seemed to be more of an "After the act" bit....
This is an excuse to try and justify Cain's wife...Just face it...the writers made a mistake...Goofed up, so to speak...
Regardless that I do not believe anything literal out of the Adam and Eve story, it's always amazed me how many people do...
Intelligence is the only true moral guide...
