@Finn dAbuzz,
In the US, Fundamentalism was a counter proposal to the advancement of science and its effects upon then existing Christian beliefs both Catholic and Protestant. The proposal was embodied in Bishop Pyles "Fundamentals: a Testimony to the Truth". If you google that title,Im sure itll come up with the counter "Science" which is embodied in several chapters (Most of them book size). You may be interested in the chapter "re" the "Innerancy of the Penteteuch" which covers all the bullshit herein.
Its all the evidence they have and , even though it was developed in the early 1900's not much additional has been disclosed.

I think its worth a read, if only for fun. These people are ded serious and everytime we discuss these items weve gotta recall that, no matter how much hard incontrovertible evidence you plop in front of them, you only further steel their resolve to believe their own stuff.

@farmerman,
It's all nutty crap, and to the extent it is spewed by anyone with serious scientific training and knowledge it is all the more pernicious, but either we have to greatly reduce the number of people we consider to be Christian fundamentalists or acknowledge that while believing in the inerrancy of the Bible implies an unacceptance of evolution, most Christian fundamentalists don't get so deep in the weeds.

@Finn dAbuzz,
They have their rights too. Its only when they want to impose their rights over yours, ala Shariah style, thats when we get some hed banging going on.

It goes waay beyond mere biological evolution and genetics , it impresses itself in several other dsicuplines of chemistry and physics.

Fortunately, as you say, its not a majority view.

Perhaps Cain married one of the offspring of Adam and Lilith.

God didn’t originally intend to make woman. Adam asked for a companion, so God created Lilith out of the sediment and decay. All was well except for one thing: she refused to be subservient to Adam, arguing that she was created out of the same substance as he, and therefore equal. When he insisted, she flipped him off and ran for the Red Sea. There, the sea was full of demons, and she took the time to bear the lilim, yet another race of demons.

Adam, of course, went crying to God, who sent three angels to bargain with her: Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof. She still refused and they swore that her children would be doomed to die.

Lilith still refused to return to Adam, accepting the angels’ price. However, she laid claim over the children of Adam, saying that within a number of days she would take their lives if she so chose.

Despite all this, legend states that she did go back to Adam briefly, and bore three sons: Shedim, Lilin, and Rauchin. These she took with her when she left the final time.
