Followup To
Question - Still confused.  No name of daughter of Adam and Eve could I find in the bible.  Also you said you can assume there were other children, because Adam and Eve lived a very long time. Assume is no proof. The story in Ge:4 only mentions four people. Please tell me the chapter I can find the mention of other children.

After Cane killed able, A mark was placed on Marked's forehead, so that other people would not harm him.  Since there were only Adam, Eve, Cane, able, where did the other people come from?

         Peace

Dear Lou Lou
   Accordding to very ancient Jewish folk Adam and Eve had other childern. I can recall the number but do remember is the same number of chromosone that we humans have. Which is interesting.
     We also know that Adam and Eve lived along time, so we can kinda safely assume that they had other childern.
    Scripture also records they had at least one other son after the murder of Able, his name was Seth.

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
