Yes. We literally believe someone made a man from dust.

Thats a mystery. Even my preacher commented on this. There is no absolute answer from me.
So yes, I base my beliefs on something that clearly has holes in it. Do I care? No.

O and referencing more to your topic... Abel didn't have a wife. He was probably killed too fast.
Cain and Seth did.
Cain's in unknown. But they say it was his sister most likely.
Seth married his sister Azura.
Adam and Eve had other daughters and sons also.

dpends which stance you take
was the bible written by moses on the top of mount sinai (in addition to the 10 commandments), influenced by god
or was it a mass canonizing of jewish sacred texts which occured through the solomon era of the kingdom of judah.
youll notice that there is tend between people from low socio-economic status and those who take bible entirely on a literal level. also the less educated seem to view the bible as hard fact without accepting the facts which science proves to the world as the bible seems like a simpler peice of writing to understand
