Help me out here regarding the bible fantasy story known as "Genesis"
Advertisements [?]
Eve was made from a rib of Adam.

Eve was made for Adam to be a companion and to be fruitful with.

They made two fruits: Cain and Abel.

Cain eventually murdered Abel, showing that sibling rivalry is as old as time itself. Maybe he was watching too much Elmo on Sesame Street?

Then Adam and Eve bonked again and made Seth. Seth then went on to take wives...

Um, two things here:

If Eve is a part of Adam and they bonked, and we all essentially came from these two - or, rather, that ONE - does that mean that when we have sex with ANYONE it's incest?

Where did Adam and Eve get the time to create women? Where did these women come from that Seth took?

Did Cain or Abel marry women? Maybe that's why Cain turned to murder?

Did Genesis even mention women?!

Given that humans live 80 years, Eve would have had to have been very busy to make enough women for Seth to get jiggy with.

If some people take the bible literally word for word, how do they write off Genesis as it invites more questions than provides nice brainless stories to blindly believe...

I wish I still had my bible. Nice blue cover, but that made me think of a line from the 60s sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies" where Ms Hathaway talked of Jethro's "big blue book of fairy tales". Ms Hathaway was so cool. So was Nancy Culp. Jed was cool, but Buddy Ebsen is a real scumsucking bastard, oh he'd just love it today, what being a big repuke and all...
