If we read Genisis chapter 1 it appears that God created heaven and earth out of the very substance of himself.
He spoke most things into existence as the Bible says, "God said"
Now near the end of the sixth day God had placed Adam which he created from the dust of the earth after he had created everything else,
?
Genesis 2:18-19
And the Lord God said it is not good that man should be alone; I will make a help-meet for him. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them.
in the Garden of Eden and he made every creature and plant before Adam so that he could see that He God was the creator of all the living things before him, and on that same day he created woman out of Adams rib.
All plants were created on the third day.
Genesis 2:4-7
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth ... And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground.
As for the ark we have not had physical evidence for all to see,
but the evidence that the flood happened is all over the earth.
The ground is mostly sedimentary rock, there are large fossil beds, there are thousand of polystrate fossils (a fossil that goes though many layers of supposed eras of sedimentary rock) all over the earth. I have personally seen river rock inside a hard rock mine several hundred feet in at an altitude of nearly 6000'.
These rock were larger then basket balls and you could clearly see that they were in a channel of some sort.
The Bible is not clear as to where Cain's wife came from, God could have created one for him, which I doubt as I believe when he quit creating on the sixth day, the law of physics that states that matter can not be created or destroyed went into effect.
So I believe that one of his sisters became his wife. Many will say that is incest, but that would have to be how God had planned for man. Also these people were near perfect in the beginning, so the quote inbreeding would have a great genetic defect.

Were their multiple Gods at first?
Isaiah 46:9 clearly tells us that there is only one god. Just ignore, Psalm 136:2, Psalm 82, Exodus 12:12, etc.
Genesis 1:26
And God said, let us make man in our image.
Genesis 3:22
And the Lord God said, Behold, then man is become as one of us, to know good and evil.
Genesis 11:7
Let us go down, and there confound their language.

Bible Question:In Genesis 4 after Cain has killed Abel, God comes to him and curses him with a mark. Immediately following this in scripture it says "Cain lay with his wife." Where did Cain's wife come from and also the other people? Cain tells God that he is worried about being killed. I thought only Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel were alive then.

Day 6
Genesis 1:20-25
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creeps upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good... 31 And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 1: 11-13 The third day God created Plants
Genesis 2:4-7
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth ... And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground.
Animals are made from "dust"
Genesis 1:20
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
One God in three persons... The Father, Son and Holy Spirit

For true answers you would have to ask the authors, I think.
I don’t think the authors thought there would be so much scrutinizing of their work.
Imagine asking the authors those questions. They would probably stare at you thinking “What is that guy talking about? It is a book”.
I would love to see sources for the answers to these questions come from outside the Bible. (or outside of sources used to “create” the Bible.)

Believing anything but the Bible is "silly"
But what do I know...

For an atheist you sure give a lot of credit to God if you can only find 4 or 5 things that you can't credit to him. Seems to me that if God has created all of this, then perhaps the few questions that linger remain unanswered because of our lack of understanding rather than Gods lack of planning. Just a thought brother.

I normally don't post on sundays.I am home from
church because I have been sick.
I believe this member is not trolling.
The Bible is a book of confusion when you read it
with a dead spirit.
The Bible reveals itself to the spiritually alive, AKA,
saved people.
Christians shouldn't cast their pearls before swine.
