The Bible film on the telly now

[Tricky Dicky]

Noah lived approx 4000 BC so 6000 years ago, considering dinosaurs were lost in the last ice age, it's a no brainer

The last ice-age was about 10,000 years ago. The general concensus for the age of the dinosaur ended 65m years ago (barring some still living today, e.g. crocodiles). I think they were well gone by the last ice-age (give or take 64,990,000 years).

It's actually not that complicated.

Adam is a representation of man, Eve is a representation of woman.

Meaning there were many other "adam" and "eves" in existance.

yes, exactly. people are not supposed to take the bible literally. its all allegory and metaphor. Except the parts are supposed to be taken literally. they aren't allegory or metaphor at all.

you can tell the difference because its obvious where you are supposed to take it as literal truth and when not, and depending on which Abrahamic faith, denomination, or sub group thereof, you belong to.

so when the bible says Adam and Eve were the first man and woman on earth, actually it was fibbing as there was many of them scattered around ( probably in Africa and Siberia).

And were all these Adams and Eves kicked out of eden?

Alternatively, it's religion, so all complete rubbish.

Shhh ! it was rewritten by Hans Christain Anderson so simple people would read it but that's a secret okay ?

Yes, apparently God said 'Sodom'.

Adam is not really an African name though is it ?
As for apples growing in Siberia, well..............

Here is a shot from a documentary that was made at the time, of the Ark under construction.

Our photographer also caught God giving the instuction book to Noah.

So the answer is his wife was either his sister or a niece. While not such a pleasant thought these days, while they were so close to perfection and with God's protection, there would have been no birth defects caused by a close family link.

There are some parts of the World where that sort of behaviour is deemed totally acceptable...though I won't name them for fear of upsetting anyone who comes from Texas or Norfolk!

 

[Steve Foster]

so adam and eve had two sons, Cain and Abel.

Where did Cain get his wife from?

From a Jewish perspective, here is your answer:

Whom did Cain and Abel marry? - The Details
