How was the wold populated after the flood and Noah?

Answer 1

After the flood, Noah had 3 sons. Shem, Ham and Japhet. All modern day races decendant from these 3 men. Once again having to poplulate the earth by marrying relatives. These practice was wide-spread among European aristocracy for many generations, to maintain wealth, power, and position.

God give the law to populate the earth.

There were only 2 people, Adam and Eve. Eve was to be the mother of all people.

After, their explusion from the garden of Eden, for disobedience.

They had children. Cain and Abel were the first. Cain killed his brother,

because of jealousy.

Adam and Eve went on to have more sons and daughters. Cain and others

married their siblings. At the time there was no law but God's law to procreate.

Those the original people had healthy bodies and genes that didn't pass on any

hereditary diseases or disorders. They lived to be 500 to 900 years.

This practice was stop by God by Abraham's day and laws were given to strictly discontinue the practice. No doubt due to the fact that human cellular elements had started to decline and mutate. The end results, more illness, disorders and diseases would now be passed genetically. Marriage to close relatives would be prohibitive.

The original command would bring about God's purpose to have the earth populated with perfect, healthy people. But this purpose while not abandoned by God, would take a different course to achieve, which lead to Jesus Christ coming to earth to provide a sacrificial body to redeem mankind from sin and death. A condition created by the pronouncement of death on Adam and Eve, if they should disobey God. Imagine, if they had listen, they would be alive today. And we would never have to die.
