“ God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.” Genesis 1:28a   “As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.” Genesis 9:7 1. Answering true questions remove barriers to faith. “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” 1 Peter 3:15 2. Analyze the case for Cain.  Who did Cain marry?  Is it plausible? “After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.” Genesis 5:4 “These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the whole earth.” Genesis 9:19  Didn’t God just create another race?  What about birth defects? 3.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth.” Acts 17:26
