    LL>> Hello Bob,   
      
    LL>>>           THINK ABOUT THAT.   
    LL>>>      TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU NEED.   
      
    BB>> And who did the sons mate with?   
      
    BB>> Seems to me the chain would end there? Yet here we are.   
      
    LL>> If one were to read the Bible literally, then one would   
    LL>> have to conclude that Cain and Abel had a lover's spat, and   
    LL>> after Abel was gone then Cain had to do it all by himself,   
    LL>> meaning that Cain was a true hermaphrodite.   
      
    BB>Or incest came into play?   
      
    LL> Hmmm.  I hadn't thought about that before ...   
      
    BB>In fact some claim Eve did have other childeren, lots of them in   
    BB>fact, but still you have to consider incest at some point - if not   
    BB>with her, with his sisters.   
      
    LL> The Bible has never fully explained how those other children came   
    LL> about.  It seems that most folks (and preachers) have assumed that   
    LL> Adam and Eve had a monogomous relationship.  But we don't really   
    LL> know that, do we?   
      
    BB>Not a big gene pool at the beginning.   
      
    LL> That might explain God's first commandment - "Be fruitful   
    LL> and multiply."  He never did say with who.   
      
   As the King once said, "Tis a puzzlement."
