They are unwilling to believe that God started the human race by special creation of one man and one woman, preferring instead to believe that man came instead as a slowly evolving population of primates which eventually acquired what we consider human characteristics about one million years ago. However, the real reason for this criticism is merely the evolutionary presupposition that such critics hold. The idea that there might have been in the vicinity a “pre-Adamic” race of men is clearly precluded by the unequivocal Bible teaching that Adam was the “first man” (1 Corinthians 15:45, etc.) and that Eve was “the mother of all living” (Genesis 3:20). Skeptics have “wondered” where all those other people came from if no one except Adam, Eve and Cain were living at this time. The descendants of Cain and the antediluvian civilization which they developed are described in Genesis 4:17-24. But then we are told that Cain was fearful of vengeance by others who might slay him (Genesis 4:14), that he knew his wife (Genesis 4:17), and even that he built a city. Cain was apparently the first son of Adam and Eve (Genesis 4:1) and Abel the second (Genesis 4:2).Īfter Cain had murdered his brother Abel (Genesis 4:8), God punished him by sending him away from his home and from God’s presence forever.

This is certainly one of the most ancient of all questions raised by Bible critics, and we can be sure that the superficial contradiction it implies did not escape notice by the original writers of the Bible.
