santikos:
interesting topic, i always thought that He created adam first then at the same time created many other people in different places around the area,  but maybe that was just what i wanted to think. obviously adam did not see anything or anyone that was suited for him, until eve came along. i will have to study more and compare with scriptures, leaving my emotions out of it. thanks for your posts

Deborah-Leigh:

Maybe, Adam and Eve are not Jack and Jill.
 
Maybe, Adam and Eve symbolize God’s making more advanced humans (plural few) from out of many, (plural many)

For sure, many called few chosen, is the way God works.

olasupop--loved your song...so true....

as for the rest....i always say, the more i learn, the more i realize i don't know,
and there is so much more to God than we can even imagine. =)

Rom 11:33  O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

makes me smile just thinking about how awesome He is and how dumb we are (even tho we think we are so smart)...love God's sense of humor....love this

For Kat,

Thanks for the response.
One question came immediately to mind.
In the general resurrection will God resurrect ALL of those who may have lived before Adam and Eve?
If so, why? What purpose would be served? Or if not why not?
If they were many, say billions, where will they live on this earth as they are resurrected.

Of course I do understand that this is speculation, but God may have put this question in my mind and
inquiring minds want to know.   ???

For Olasupo Jacobs,

I have often wondered why we could not have Cain marrying one of his sisters or his hundreds of cousins.
There is no definite time frame between Adam/Eve and the generation of Cain and Abel other than the subsequent birth of Seth.
Adam and Eve could have had multiple children and grandchildren prior to Cain/Abel or after Cain/Abel for that matter.
We are not told how many children Adam/Eve had when Seth was born although Adam was then 130 years old.
130 years is plenty of time for children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to have lived and reproduced.
Skipping over or ignoring intermediate sibling generations is common in scripture.

Just wondering, Ole Indiana Bob

I've thought about that myself in the past but I'm learning to temper my inquisitiveness when God has not revealed in His word about it.  However, it occurred to me that the earth currently is under a curse...the curse of sin.  Look at how much of the world is virtually uninhabitable because of environmental conditions.  You have all of the Arctic and Antarctic along with huge swaths of desert areas in Africa and even here in the U.S. where it's very hard for people to live because of no water, ect.  How much population could the earth hold if the curse was lifted, the entire earth fertile, temperate and plenty of water, ect.
