Question
hi, in the begining according to the bible, God created Adam then came Eve, and then 2 sons, Caine & Able,  then Caine killed Abel, leaving  only 3 people on our planet
How or Where did the rest of the people  come from ???  
i have never yet got a  reliable answer to this  question and have asked  Clergy & many other before


Answer
Hi Carol,

That's easy. The bible indicates that Adam and Eve kept having children. The bible does not list every person born, but only key people necessary to the revelation of God. If you asked clergy this question, and they couldn't answer it, that would really surprise me.

Expertise

Hello to you! I love discussing many doctrinal subjects regarding God`s rationale for creating us like he did and our value to him. Also, I enjoy discussing things from the Atheist`s perspective too. I take the view that the Bible is not inerrant, that it has errors which are easy to prove, but I also believe that much in the Bible is God`s Word to humanity.

Experience

I have spent over 30 years studying the Bible and related materials. Though I am a layman, I feel confident about my knowledge of the scriptures and welcome all points of view and will treat you with the respect you deserve.
