Genesis doesn't say all of us came from Adam and Eve. Just that they were the first. Genesis neither says, nor implies, that God stopped at Adam & Eve.
Genesis seemed like it was two stories mashed up to one.
One had a mass of people already created, like you said but another story where Adam is first person.
People already existed or is it assumed Eve populated the world in some way?
I assumed there were other people in Nod.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
It is crystal clear that Adam and Eve were the first humans and all descended from them. The bible is obviously bullshit, but don’t make shit up either to make yourself sound smart.
Luke 3:38 Acts 17:26 1 Corinthians 15:20-22
I specified Genesis, as did the meme.
Where will the Jews discover your wisdom?
Fantastic citations!
