Where wives come from. Here's my comment from 10-4-10... I believe God made other people besides Adam & Eve and family, but it wasn't specified. Just like it's not always specified that people urinated, but we assume they did, as we do in any non-fiction story. The fact that the Bible does not share every detail does not discredit it. Those who believe that discredits the Bible would not believe any non-fiction writing then, because no book covers 100% of all details. I'm sure 1,000 pages could have spent on the creation of the Earth, but it's only 1 chapter.
Check out Gen 5:2- it said in the beginning he made male and female. I take that to mean he created other people besides Adam and Eve, but just focused on those 2 originally. Other people outside the garden is also likely how Cain and Seth found wives- otherwise, their own mom, Eve, was the only other woman to possibly reproduce with.
