Reply #22: So why did the oranges have to be connected to dogs and cats?

Seems to me, he was far more related to vegetable matter than any cat of dog I ever knew.

I was discussing Genesis w/a friend of mine one day, and asked that if the story was true, as described and he was prone to accept, if Adam and Eve had Caine and Abel, Cain kills Abel, why are we here, the genetic line ended at that point?

For that matter, why did God tell Cain to go build cities and get himself a wife...cities for who, a wife from where?

He told me that we don't have all of the answers, and I replied, "precisely, and that is why we search for the answers".
