Line 9:
Line 9: − − == Offspring == − − Adam and Eve initially had two children, Cain and Abel. After Cain killed Abel, and was cursed to wander, Adam and Eve conceived another child named Seth. These sons are explicitly named in Genesis, although it does state that there were other sons and daughters as well (Genesis 5:4). − − According to the Bible all humans on Earth are descendants of Adam and Eve. Their children Cain and Seth create two separate lineages of human life on Earth. Cain and Seth would each have had sexual intercourse with one of their sisters (or nieces) to propagate humanity. Incest is normally a problem because of the likelihood of both parents passing on the same genetic defects to their offspring, but in this case the genetic defects would not have had time to occur, so would not have been a problem. Line 21:
Line 15: − − == Anatomy == − − Because neither Adam nor Eve were born from the womb of a mother, they would have lacked the resulting navel left over from umbilical cord removal. Though many artistic depictions show the pair with belly-buttons, this is considered scientifically inaccurate by Creationist Scientists.<ref>[http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/bellybutton.html Christian Answers], "Did Adam have a belly-button?"</ref> − − ==References== − <references/>
The offspring of Adam & Even does not belong under the Garden of Eden, same with belly button discussions
Although life was apparently meant to be easy, Adam was given the task of working the Garden and taking care of it.

The Israelite word for Eden is Aten, which is very similar to the Egyptian word "Atlen" which means "[[Atlantis]]". Atlantis is also believed to be the origin of mankind.
