OK, here's something you can explain to me:
In the story of Genesis, after Cain slew Abel, it says he went 'East of Eden into the Land of Nod, and there took himself a wife'.
My question is this: If Adam & Eve and their children were the only people on earth at the time, who was this woman that Cain took for a wife? Who was Nod for that matter? Were there other people on this planet before Adam and Eve? Has something been omitted? Was 'Gods Word' edited by men? If so, by whom? And what are the implications on the validity of the Bible as the infallible word of God if it has been edited by men?

a) His Sister??? OK. Where is the chapter & verse explaining this?
I ask again . . . .Has something been omitted?
Who performed this editing?b)In my limited knowledge of ancient history, it seems to me that most lands in biblical times were named for kings or for the peoples populating them, so where did these 'Nodites' come from? if they were the children of Adam & Eve, why is there no mention of their existence or lineage anywhere else in the Bible? . . . .Has something been omitted?
By Whom?
I'd repeat my last question from my previous post, but I think you get the idea . . . .

By saying 'everything irrelevant' I assume you mean everything irrelevant to the story of the Jews and Christians - that is to say, they (among others it would seem) are all the progeny of Seth, the surviving, unbanished son of Adam & Eve.
So, If the Bible is the story of the Jews and the Christians, (& I have no problem with that) then there is an enormous amout of human history that is not within it's scope. No (or very little)mention of the peoples of the Far East or the Americas or any discussion of how these people got there from their supposed Edenic origins. Gee, maybe that's where the 'Nodites' ended up. Oh yeah, that's right; that was all before the epochal Flood (or should that be apocryphal? No, no literalist would settle for that! LoL).
I suppose that wouldn't change your argument about the divine orgins of the writings, but I think you'd have to agree, that it cannot be viewed as a complete history of all humanity.
