   Hmmm.  I hadn't thought about that before ...

   The Bible has never fully explained how those other children came   
   about.  It seems that most folks (and preachers) have assumed that   
   Adam and Eve had a monogomous relationship.  But we don't really   
   know that, do we?   
      
   BB>Not a big gene pool at the beginning.   
      
   That might explain God's first commandment - "Be fruitful   
   and multiply."  He never did say with who.
