But, but...the Bible says there were other people in the world who were not decendents of Adam and Eve and who lived outside of the garden of eden.  Did you even read the link I posted?  We are the Other People.  We aren't subject to Original Sin, a life of guilt and fear, and all the rest of that Christian "goodness".

The college I attended was founded by Protestants by the way; not that it really matters.

We are the other people.  At least I am.


Since it is clear that other people were alive you say, could you give us some biblical proof? 


Did Cain and Abel have sex and children with their sisters or their mother?

I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm just saying...



Cain and Abel married their sisters yes.  At that time there wasn't much choice.  Also, the dna wasn't corrupted like it became after several generations, which is why God forbid them to marry family members when the law came.

As far as Biblical proof is concerned, What the bible says is proof.  You have faith that the bible is false and in what you believe, I have faith in what the bible says.  We both base our views on evidence.  I feel that the bible's evidence is conclusive, whereas you don't seem to.  Your first mistake seems to be that you took a bible class in a liberal worldly college point of view who probably doesn't believe the bible in the first place.  That's like learning how to fix a car from someone who doesn't believe what the manual says, so he just adds to it or subtracts from it as he wishes.  The car is not going to run correctly, if it runs at all.  Try taking a class at a Christian university.  They will show you things that the liberals either don't want you to know, or don't know themselves about the bible.
