Yes, Genesis 4:17 says that Cain built an entire city for his son and even named the city Enoch, after him. First of all, how you you build an entire city all by yourself? Are we talking about a scale-model city or what? Second, why would you build an entire city for three people? Doesn't that seem like a bit of overkill? Third, once again, what about all that wandering Cain was supposed to do? Curses from all-powerful gods just aren't what they used to be.

First, they push their ideas into the bible. They take a single verse and write a paragraph about what God "intended" it to mean. I do the same thing, but I don't claim to know the intentions of the invisible man in the sky. If the bible was as useful as it's claimed, we shouldn't have to add pages and pages of interpretations to it.
Second, they are suspiciously silent on the contradictory verses of Genesis 6. We're getting close to Genesis 6, so I'll save my rant for the comic.
Third, they give an incorrect description of science. They claim that genetic mutations are the result of sin and God cursing us. In reality, mutations occur at random.
Fourth, and forgive the ad hominem attack, but Answers In Genesis is run by Ken Ham who is currently serving jail time for tax fraud. Not exactly the kind of person you should trust to make your decisions for you. |

| He built an entire city in 1 year?? And how do we even have construction at this point? Speaking of which, how did Cain & Abel have their garden tool(s) & staff? How did those get built, & where did the metal part come from?! And how does Enoch know what a pony he is. I don't think horses have been domesticated or identified, and he's a 1-year old boy.
Also, shouldn't the population sign say the population is 4 because Qazar is there?
But yeah, normally I don't like to criticize, but there just seems to be so much that's wrong in this. And I'm not even going to start asking where they got all the terms they're using(City, pony, population, etc.). |
