When and where were Cain and Abel born?

Answer 1

According to tradition they were born in the Garden soon after the Creation. The Garden was apparently in southern Iraq in an area adjacent to the Euphrates delta, which has since been covered by the Persian Gulf.

Answer 2

It is a myth. They were neither born, nor did one slay the other.

Answer 2

After Adam and Eve.

"Although critics contended that the Hebrew Bible is untrustworthy, time and time again, the archaeological record supports places, times, and events mentioned in Scripture." (Professor John Arthur Thompson, The Bible and Archaeology). The personal names Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are names of the time and area mentioned in the Bible (ibid).

"One city after another, one civilization after another, one culture after another, who were known only from the Bible, have been restored to their place in ancient history through archaeology" (Prof. Gleason Archer, A Survey of Old Testament Introduction).

No parchment, scroll, or inscription has ever been found that would support the Bible-critics' JEPD (different sources) hypothesis, which remains a set of mere postulates. And those ancient writers who mention, describe, summarize or translate the Torah (Josephus, Samaritans, Targum, Septuagint etc.), describe it in its complete form.

Archaeological finds, such as the Ugarit documents and those of Nuzu, Mari, Susa, Ebla, and Tel el-Amarna, have repeatedly caused the critics to retract their claims. The entire social milieu portrayed in the Torah, once criticized as anachronistic, has been shown to be accurate, including customs of marriage, adoption, contracts, inheritance, purchases, utensils, modes of travel, people's names and titles, etc. Professor Gleason Archer states: "In case after case where inaccuracy was alleged as proof of late and spurious authorship of the biblical documents, the Hebrew record has been vindicated by the results of excavations, and the condemnatory judgment of the Documentary theorists have been proved to be without foundation."

Answer 3

AnswerIt is debatable whether Cain and Abel really ever did live. The story of Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel is so contrary to scientific knowledge that it can not be accepted a literally true. Moreover, scholars see parallels between the story of Cain and Abel and the much older myths of the Mesopotamian people. However, if we do accept the biblical as based on fact, then they must have lived around six thousand years ago.

Answer 4

The Bible says that Adam and Eve lived in the garden of Eden, and were thrown out of the garden of eden after falling in sin. Abel and Cain were born outside Eden, and the bible does not tell their date of birth.
