Seth

Today is the 5634th birthday of Seth, son of Adam. Well, by my count, at least.

Happy birthday, old guy! Sorry about your brothers.

If Adam and Eve were the first humans, does that mean that Seth married his sister? Or was there other spontaneous human generation that the Bible doesn't mention? I mean, Adam and Eve were created, but then is it possible that God created other humans for their children to reproduce with? Or, if Adam and Eve suddenly got the spark of humanity that raised them from apes, does that mean that other apes got their humanity in the same generation? Or did Seth mate with an ape? Beastiality in your family tree?

Or all we just the descendents of massive interbreeding?
