To answer some Genesis questions, some scholars believe Adam and Eve had lots of children. The women were almost never recorded in lineage because of that culture. This could be where Cain found a wife and then settled. Others believe that Genesis was not written by Moses but rather during Israel's exile in Babylon. There are many parallels in both stories. Eden=Israel, Forbidden fruit=Israel partaking in pagan worship, Exile from Garden=Exile from Israel. However, just as God stayed with Adam and Eve even though they disobeyed, Israel needed the hope that God was still with them while they were in Babylon.
