Between the seven generations (?) between Adam and Eve and Noah, you can't find any women.
Of course you can. The text provides the answer to the 'where did Cain get his wife' question. It has been asked since at least the 6th century!
The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters.
Cain's wife was either a sibling or a niece.
After Cain killed Abel he said
I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will slay me. This presupposes an existing growing population to supply the whoever.
Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. Also presupposes a growing population. A city was a walled encampment. There was building, beginning of music and the necessary intruments and skill to make them, the beginning of using metal for tools and implements, the beginning of farming.
The other objection raised here is that the first human beings had to have committed incest. The text assumes no marriage between parents and children (
Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh), but initially pairing of siblings was of course necessary to continue the race. Abraham for example later married his half sister. Only much later (centuries) was incest forbidden in the law of Moses (along with other dangerous sexual practices), by which time enough genetic damage had been done to make it potentially unhealthy. We ignore it at our peril.
I don't recognise me saying anything about Walsh and editing. You sure that was me?
Sorry, I was talking more generally about people not being able to blame editing for his documentary.
