Q:
Did Adam HaRishon have many sons and daughters?
A:
Yes. How many, I can’t tell you. He had many sons and daughters. They’re not named because they weren’t important enough to be named. Of course they were important, but the Torah doesn’t spend time just on the important things. It tells us only the most important things.
Now we know that during these long years of the old generations, they had very many children. And it is quite possible, it’s probable that they populated the entire world. All over the world their children spread. In 800 years, it is possible to have a whole nation of children. Your children have children and they have children; you can see great great great great grandchildren in 800 years. And they spread everywhere.
And therefore, it’s not surprising to us to find all kinds of human beings buried everywhere embedded in rocks as fossils all over the world, from the earliest times. When the Mabul came, the Mabul destroyed all of them and it laid down layers of sediment which genuine geologists testify were laid one after the other.
I’ll explain that. When there’s a flood of water, it carries a lot of sediment and the more violent the water is, the faster its current, the more it carries sediment with it. Now when the waters settle, it lays down a layer of sediment and that sediment, that’s what causes the rock to be created and whatever is inside that rock, human bodies, animal bodies, plants, become fossilized. The protein is carried away by the water, and minerals instead take their place. That’s how you have fossils.
Now, we see that the layers, the strata, lie one on top of the other without any sign of disturbance. Now if the second stratum would have been laid a long time after the first like the evolutionists claim, the surface of the bottom strata would have been eroded by winds and by rain, by currents, and there would have been unevenness. But when you see a stratum lies on top of a stratum with a perfect conformity, not the slightest sign of erosion, it means one was laid down right after the other. So a current coming from this side lays down this kind of sediment, then when it stops, a current came from the other side and laid another kind of sediment, one on top of the other. And that’s proven, therefore, that these stratum were laid down one after the other in quick succession.
Not there were millions of years in between like the liars tell us. Because if even 100,000 years pass, even if 1,000 years pass, the surface of the stratum is eroded. The weather, winds and rains erode the surface. But since we find so many strata one on top of the other, even in the high mountain, it’s full of stratum, and it shows that they were all laid down one on top of the other immediately. And the only explanation was the Mabul.
So at the time of the Mabul, mankind had spread all over the world because there had been very many people in the world because of the long lives of their forbearers. And when the Mabul came, they were buried under the sediments that the Mabul carried.
And therefore we have fossils of men – modern men; not primitive men; real ordinary men, everywhere – only they don’t speak about them. It’s not considered newsworthy when a modern type man is discovered. When they find somebody who’s old and his knees are bent by arthritis and he walked stooped because of old age, oh, they found a primitive man who looks like a monkey! But when they find a man who died with an erect stature and everything is as normal as we are, they don’t report it. But we have to know, however, that it’s well known that there are fossils of normal men everywhere. And that’s a result of the Mabul because in the time of the Mabul, mankind had spread all over the world.
