But I'll entertain the scenario as if there are straws. Adam lived to 930 years old. That's plenty of time for if when Adam was, say, 500 years old, and saw some hot young 200 year old guy crossing the street that "aroused something in him" he could have acted on it.

And yet.....not one record of anything like that in the Bible. Adam is only ever represented as a heterosexual husband of a woman, even though he had more time than any of us ever will to swing the other way if that was something that actually happened.
I meant before the fall, in the Garden of Eden. (Since we are pondering about whether gayness was already in the genes of A and E before the fall). God only gave Adam one choice, and it was a specific woman.


Genesis chapter 1

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28*And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Genesis Chapter 2

5*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.
6*But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7*And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul

Chapter 4
And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16*And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

Several questions here-
There are two genesis stories, the first in chapter one where God made men and women at the same time, the second in chapter two where God created one man and then a woman came out from his side.
When Cain was wandering the earth, where did those people wanting to kill them come from? Did God have a separate garden of eden I was not aware of, in the land of Nod where there were men and women (from first chapter) were living and also got kicked out? Were they same sex? Is that why they got kicked out? Cain had sex with one of them so it cant be Adam and Eve’s kids right? that will be incest.

Perhaps Adam should have had a lineup to choose from, or perhaps a runway?

What if Adam was a racist and wanted a Native American woman?

But then you would be whining about Eve needing the same.

At least we assume that, because form follows function . . . (get it?)

We're talking creation here, and the first of everything. You'd figure there would be details explaining it all.

We should know where the strangers out to kill Cain came from, and his wife. There had to be sisters, or Abel, Cain, and Seth couldn't procreated. Where are they? It took 800 yrs after Seth for Adam to create other sons and daughters. And Seth had to sleep with his sisters to procreate. Seth couldn't do 'em all. Did they pleasure each other? Was loving in those early incestuous times willy-nilly, and loosey-goosey?

We don't know. The Bible writers, and/or inspirations, were extremely short on details. As a result, their accounts don't make sense. And later morality was out the window.

Sounds like one of those pure conjecture movies that someone might do . . .
