i agree with this. because in Genesis 2 God created Adam and Eve from his body. if the idea is that there was 2 different creations then logic says there must have been 2 Adams as well

Cain married one of his many sisters. Simple!

Sorry, Kevin, but any good geneticist will tell you that there would have been plenty of gene variation built into the first genetically perfect humans, with no mutation. Over the generations, you would begin to see the dominant and recessive genes present themselves ,slowly, with pigment changes, as the different shades of melanin would show up among the tribes.
After the Noahic flood, the migration of Noah’s sons and wives to different parts of the new world would create some genetic isolation, creating actual “races”. Even today, there are occasional surprises where 2 white parents have a black baby–we still have that much genetic variation within us today!!

No more allegorical than you are.

Exactly. The ones who comment here are mostly Christians and don’t understand this. They take everything literally.

Not to mention that Christians mistranslated and corrupted Jewish texts. Christians don’t seem to realize that much of the bible is allegorical.

You know that the bible is allegorical, don’t you?

The name ‘Lilith’ is derived from this word for the Darkness that God called ‘Night’. The people who wrote GENESIS were understandably afraid of the dark, not having electric street-lights to provide sufficient artificial illumination. There are any number of nocturnal predators to be afraid of, and if a baby in a crib were to suffer SIDS [‘Sudden Infant Death Syndrome’], as no doubt happened in ancient times, as it still happens today, then it makes sense to fear some evil nocturnal predatory spirit. Lilith might not literally exist, but the notion of sudden death afflicting children at Night would suffice to produce a folkloric myth about some malevolent spirit associated with the Night.
