Gen. 5:4 says Adam had other children, sons and daughters, after Seth. How could you miss that?

Chronologically this is after Cain slew Abel and bore Enoch. Where did Cain's wife came from? There is NO mention in the Bible of other children anywhere before Genesis 4:17. In fact, the Bible is VERY explicit in that Adam and Eve do NOT have another child until Genesis 4:25, after Enoch is born.

How can you miss that? Unless you're saying the timeline of the Bible is not exact?

Then what an apostle of Christ wrote at Romans 5:12 fits evolutionary theory?

Yes, yes it does. Evolution is a scientific theory of how man evolved from primates; Romans 5:12 is theology which tells us that once man became aware of God, that first man sinned and caused separation for all men from God.

Cain's wife is one those “other children, one of his sisters likely. Some of those sons and daughters of Gen. 5:4 born earlier.

“In fact, the Bible is VERY explicit in that Adam and Eve do NOT have another child until Genesis 4:25, after Enoch is born.”

Exactly which one of Cain's female relatives became his wife isn't stated or how old he was when he took a wife and fled east. but since he did take a wife there were females, his relatives, alive at the time.

In the book of Romans Paul discusses Adam as a historical individual, not mankind generically, and case as he does Abraham and Sarah. In fact Paul calls Adam the first man in 1 Cor. chapter 15 so there would be no men before Adam to become aware of God and Adam himself was aware of God from his creation.

“Yes, yes it does. Evolution is a scientific theory of how man evolved from primates; Romans 5:12 is theology which tells us that once man became aware of God, that first man sinned and caused separation for all men from God.”

This sort of double-think is described at 1 Kings 18:21.
