And now we are back to the speculative part. So do you think those dates and ages for the OT people listed are credible or not? You haven't answered that question yet.
Now if you were a lover of learning and you just figured something out that could expand your mind for miles would YOU just say "no thank you, im in bliss right now and do not need to know more, bye"
Eve loved learning and she heard a new term, from the "snake.
She HAD to do it, she ate the apple, or had sex with the snake, or whatever she did.
Im glad she did it too bc i wouldn't want a perfect blissful world where everyone was the same. That is my evil talking, we all have a little.

The notion that Eve had sexual relations with Satan and that the offspring of that union was Cain is known as the "Serpent's Seed Doctrine". It's a very old theory/interpretation.
Sometimes it's used as a building block in the formation of a white supremacist world view, sometimes more narrowly as a justification for anti-Semitism and the like, but sometimes not. As I recall, there was a preacher named Arnold Murray who used to teach it minus the racial/anti-Semitic elements.
People who teach it/believe in it are often teachers/believers in stuff like British Israeli's as well.
You know I believe when Israel was overthrown and finally broken up, the tribes wandered the world and could be in many places like in Britian, Europe, the America's, Asia, Africa etc....

Maybe you are afraid of death?
Why would you want to live forever as one single entity?
When you could possible live eternally, as many and all . . .

I think the intention of the story is that the snake's offspring are other snakes.

"The man shall bruise your head, you shall bruise his heel" is precisely what men and snakes do to each other; that element in the story is there to explain why.

How did the snakes have offspring of other snakes, when everyone came from Adam and Eve…?
What do you mean “is precisely what men and snakes do to each other” lol
Do you see this as aliteral snake or metaphor for something else…?

Genesis is as clear as mud until you realize the snake is our ego, the apple sexual energy. So yes some nautingness ensued in the Garden of Eden, but the Garden exist within us.
The apple is the ego, the snake is the sexual energy , would be more accurate.
The naughtiness that ensued is the suppression yet again of beings that were about to bypass anything that "GOD" had to offer.
They wish the Garden exists within us, they will never know, they keep everything insulated and secured in abject fear of the true magnificence of LIMITLESSNESS.....
If it ever gets out they will be deleted before they can blink.
Genesis 2:17 ... "but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die."
