Cain, Noah and Agriculture
Posted: Thu May 10, 2018 9:29 pm
Hello everyone,
I used to read this website all the time when I was in highschool and am very happy to have found it once again. I was recently reading Genesis and struggling to understand something. In these two passages the problem lies:
Genesis 4:2 Later she [Eve] gave birth to another son, Abel. Abel became a shepherd, but Cain was a farmer.
Genesis 9:20 Noah, who was a farmer, was the first man to plant a vineyard.
So here's my issue. If we grant the extended human history of a Progressive Old Earth Creationism, it would seem that the time of Adam's sons and the Deluge are both long before agriculture as archaeologists traditionally understand it.
How do we then understand these verses?
