Dear Anonymous from 5/30/2012
Adam lived for over 900 years and had many sons and daughters. Each of his sons took a sister and had many sons and daughters; not just the Christ line thru Seth or the line of the first "seed of satan", Cain.
Now since these people lived for centuries there would be hundreds of people in only a few centuries, maybe more. GOD doesn't tell us everything just those things HE feels we need to know.
I know VLHowell covered most of this, but just to reiterate, because even GOD repeats himself knowing that we humans need to be told more than once.
And another thing GOD NEVER leaves HIS people clueless!!! NEVER! Adam and Eve were fully instructed on GOOD & EVIL. They knew good experientially and they knew evil by GOD's instructions; HE never wanted them to know evil experientially which is what happened when they sinned.
So Cain married one of his sisters and his son Enoch was the first RECORDED grandson and a son of the firstborn of Adam and Eve. Get your facts straight Cain was firstborn; Able was second-born.
