One of my first questions that couldn’t be answered. My Mom said they married ladies from far away. But couldn’t tell me where they came from.

If they married ladies from far away, wouldn’t that imply that there were other men and women contemporaneous with Adam and Eve?

More than likely if this cockamamie story did actually happen, the god of the Bible finally figured out that he'd better head back in to the shop, refire the kiln and bake up a few more humans or his little ant farm was going to die off real quick. Cain, Abel and Seth sitting around giving each other hand jobs clearly wasn't working.

Audumla licked salty rocks so fast that the heat and friction created three women for them to marry. Then Prometheus gave them fire. Or maybe the whole story is horseshit. I don't know....

It is simple. Cain went to the land of Nod and found a wife. All the Noddites were trying to kill him for murdering Abel as there was as yet no judges, juries or defense lawyers. The land of Nod was created on the 8th day (after God had finished resting) just before he made Narnia

Ages, it was before Prime was available!
Here is a link that gives some possible answers from the "Forgotten Books of Eden". Makes for interesting reading. Let me know what you think.

Thank you.
The whole story is too far-fetched.

Ya think?
When Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden they ended up near a community of peoples who did not know "the true god". And yes, Cain, Able, and Seth married women from among those people.

I got that answer from a decon and wasn't satisfied. It just didn't make sense either. If God created the heavens and the earth then he would have created the community of people who did not know "the true God" as well. It creates more questions than it answers. 
Which would be an admission that Adam and Eve weren't the foundation of all humanity, ...you might even say, a wink toward the evolutionary fact of multiple early humanoid lines of development. Sounds suspiciously like the original author of the story meant it clearly to be metaphorical, not literal.
@MikeinBatonRouge oh f&ck yes! So much of the bible is metaphorical and not literal. It is hard to pick out the facts that way.
