No, I'm not making an assumption. There wasn't anyone else for Cain to marry.
Now, you can believe some account that says, "Oh, God just stepped into the middle of some trillions of years old universe and then He recreated everything, or just explained to us how He made man, but everything was already out there, despite the 'fact' that the Scriptures do say that the earth was created as the first heavenly body in all of the universe.
I guess by your account then, God himself is only 6000 years old, staring out into an empty abyss for trillions of years until one day he said, I think I'll create a universe.
You're just assuming, you know, that he got his wife from somewhere else...also. I do have the 'facts' of God's word to support my 'assumings'.
I am not assuming anything. You have been making assumptions and calling them facts, when they are not fact, but only assumptions. I have not made an assumption here, I have made no declaration of fact. I have only allowed myself the possibility that we don't fully know or understand. On the 6th day, God created man and women. When Adam was formed from the dust of the earth, he had no women. Eve came later.
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Who is this that darkeneth counsel
by words without knowledge?
Gird up now thy loins like a man;
for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
declare, if thou hast understanding.
Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest?
or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Ted, did you know in the scripture it is written a day with the Lord is a thousand years and a thousand years as a day? Yet your insistence is creation took place in 6 literal 24 hour periods. Could have been 6000 years, or 6 periods of time, whatever God determined that period to be.
But I do see another problem with your theology. While you insist that the earth was created in 6 consecutive 24 hour periods, you seem to have no problem separating out the final week of years from the prophecy in Daniel 9.
And of course, to turn the discussion on its head with your logic. God didn't tell you that it took millions of years either. So, on what written prose of God do you base your understanding that the universe must be 50,000 years old, or 10 million years old, or billions and trillions of years old. Show me your evidence!
Science has given you the evidence. Evidence you reject because you think you know better.
