I file the three prequels with T3 & T4, Highlander-any-movie-after-the-first, and Crow II as movies that were so bad I refuse to acknowledge they exist.

Except that doesn't really answer the question of "where the fuck did she come from?"
There is no answer for that one.

There is no answer for that one.
There's a apologetic argument called the "Pre-Adamites". By this theology, Yahweh pulled two different creations, explaining the contradictions between chapter 1 and chapter 2 of Genesis. Cain left one creation and moved to the one Yahweh created in chapter 1.
It's an interpretation that isn't widely adopted by Christians and while it does explain some of the problem reconciling 1 and 2, others remain unanswered. For example, why did it not occur to Yahweh to create woman right away when he had already done so in chapter 1? And why was it necessary to recreate birds out of the ground when he'd already done so out of the water in chapter 1? And why was it a problem that there was no man to till the soil in chapter 2 when Yahweh created the plants in chapter 1 a day before creating the sun and three days before creating humans?
To paraphrase a famous song, when I think of all the crap I learned from apologetics, it's a wonder I can think at all.

You have to be real to be a fuck up. He's more like a badly written character.

The funny thing was that Cain was banished and marked by God for protection so that he wouldn't be killed by anyone. There were only Adam, Eve, and Cain left in the story, so who would kill him?
