Um let me see for a second?
No. I believe that people who lived tens of thousands of years ago believed that. But I also know it's complete and total nonsense and has been completely disprove thanks to science. I mean yeah they're my ancestors, but they are so distant that they're basically everyone's ancestors. My most recent ancestors were Christian and I don't believe that nonsense either.
By the way just a quick question. If Adam and Eve were the first people and they only had two sons, where the fuck did Abel's wife come from?

Abel's wife isn't in the Old Testament.

@Doubting Thomas, you owe me a new keyboard. I was drinking tea while reading this.
@LAKWISHA, ATHEISTS don't believe in any gods, so totemism and animism are right out.
My Viking ancestors believed in sacrificing people to Odin via the "blood eagle". That has absolutely no bearing on my beliefs at all.
The farthest I can trace my family tree is a German military officer pre-WWI and a Norweigian farmwife named Ingaborg. That almost became my name.

You "can trace [your] family tree all the way back to Abel's wife," eh? Documentation, or it didn't happen.

As an atheist I believe that you're very confused.

Wasn't there this big flood you religionist types keep nattering about? Wouldn't all the records prior to it have been destroyed?

Given that according to the Bible, Cain and Abel were the first born sons of Adam and Eve (the first humans): Abel's "wife" must be:
- his sister (spawn of Adam and Eve)
- his niece/half-sister (spawn of Cain and Eve)
- his daughter/sister (spawn of Abel and Eve)
Given the poster's intelligence (or lack thereof), it is actually quite believable for Lakwisha to be the product of generations of inbreeding.

I can trace my lineage back to Cain's wife. You know, the one from the city of Nod. You know, the bustling metropolis a few miles outside Yahweh's weird experiment in a garden where he tried to wipe the memories of two kids and enslave them.
I can tell you, it's refreshing not to be tainted with original sin.
Also, obvious Poe is obvious. (Lakwisha, really?)

So acknowledging that a time period exists means believing all the things that people of that time believed? Major logical disconnect here. I accept that ancient Greece existed. Does that mean I have to believe in the Greek gods?
Also, Abel never had a wife. You fail even your own Bible.

By that reasoning, if historians believe Sargon was historical and not a myth, that means they must speak Akkadian and worship Inanna and Zababa?

So what? I can trace my family tree all the way back to Buddha's twin brother Charlie.

People who boast about their ancestors are simply saying that their family is better dead than alive.

TB TabbyAdrian Targett can trace his lineage back 9,000 years, thanks to the discovery of

Wow, did you just admit your ancestors were incestuous? You conservatives love your sister-cousin gramma-daughter straight-line family trees...and you're proud of it!

So since the first Christians converted from Judaism, does that mean Christians don't eat shellfish or pork?

...that is impossible on so many levels.
Abel's wife? Not Abel? Not, y'know, Abel's parents? What? Are you descended from her via a different marriage or something?
Also, I believe with good reason that most of my ancestors in a certain historical range were Irish Catholics. This does not make me a Catholic.

Noah was a descendent of Seth. Everyone on earth is purportedly a descendant of Noah. Even going by your own crazy mythology, there is no conceivable way you could be descended from Abel _or_ his wife.
You might try actually _reading_ the Bible before you quote it.

Okay, look at this idiot's name. Lakwisha. I hate to say it, but that is one of the most stereotypical ghetto names I've ever seen. Guess what? To most Christians, Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel are supposed to be white. So, please, do tell me, how the hell did you get black?

That doesn't excuse Yahoo Answers from being the most inappropriately-named site on the Internet.
