God used Evolution to 'create' man

It is entirely possible that "mother of all living" referred to the spiritual sense.

Please explain where the other people Cain was afraid of came from if Adam and Eve didn't have other children until after Abel's murder.

They came from Eve. Reproduction at that time involved family. Of course. And we do not know how many girls Eve also may have had. The bible lists the men usually.

Simple.

Read the passage. There are no additional children until Seth, and no additional sons and daughters until after Seth was born. Which, of course, was not until after Abel’s murder.

How about daughters before Seth? Do we know how long Adam and Eve were in the garden before they sinned? I notice in chap 3 verse 19 God tells Eve that He will change how her conception works. That seems to indicate it already may have worked!? Then in verse 20 Adam calls the woman Eve because shew WAS the mother of living! Which living? Not Adam. Then in verse 24, when they were driven from the garden it only mentions 'the man'. We know Eve was there also, so if daughters were also there, they would not get a mentch either.

Then we notice that some time was involved in the lives of Cain and Able before the murder.

Gen 3:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

 

Seems to me there was ample opportunity for Adam and Eve and others who may have grown in the process of time also to have some girls. Both before and after the expulsion from the garden. No need to invent some other race of man!

God has a body as hundreds of Scriptures teach

Jesus says He does not.   I'll go with his opinion.

All Jesus said was that a spirit being is not made up of flesh and bone as He now has. He never said Spirit beings do not have bodies, as the many hundreds of scriptures prove they do. Don't get hung up on "ONE," scripture which you misunderstand.

Sure, there was opportunity, but guessing that there must have been more children not mentioned in the Bible is exactly that - a guess.

My guess is just as consistent with scripture as your guess. It just happens that my guess is also supported by the evidence that God has made available regarding His creation process.

Not redefining words to make any point. Just quoting Scripture which are missing in your posts.  The Bible clearly teaches that very living thing has a soul and spirit. The soul is that which feels and the spirit is that which knows. Animals have both feelings and knowledge although somewhat limited and on a much lower scale than that of man. Animals were not created in the likeness of God as men are. They are a lower type of life and they have souls and spirits in the sense of feelings, emotions, appetites, desires, passions, and a low form of knowledge, as can be seen in many Scriptures. If there are horses in Heaven as the Scriptures teach then there must be all kinds of animals there for Heaven is called a better place, and therefore it is sure to be as good as the Earth (Hebrews 11:10-16).

Scriptures teach that there is a difference between the natural spirit of man and the spirit of beasts (Eccl. 3:21); that there is a difference between "breath" and "spirit" (Job 34:15; Ps. 19:7; Luke 12:19; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 7:1) ; and that each creature has a separate spirit which is not a part of God (Num. 16:22; 27:17; Eccl. 3:21 ; Ezek. 21:7; Dan. 2:1-3; Mal. 2:15-16; Prov. 16:2; 1 Cor. 2:10-12; 14:32; Heb. 12:9, 23; 1 Thess. 5:23).

A guess that does not require aliens or some other human race that pre existed creation or whatever. In other words a biblical deduction based on several verses and a known pattern of not usually including women in the begats.

The Mother of all living would not be the Eve of the bible if there were other folks sneaking around.

Is Jesus God? Does Jesus have a resurrected body? Yes He does.
