In fact I will start one off

The age old "Where did cain get his wife from"
This question comes from the mistaken belief that the bible says
that Adam and Eve only had 2 children, Cain and Able.
It has been used by many teenagers in scripture at highschool in an attempt to discredit
the bible by highlighting its inaccurate and contradictory nature.

when in fact
Quote:

Genesis Gen 5:4
And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters

they had sons AND daugters and the exact number is not mentioned.
This excerpt is from the King James Version (for those who insist that it is the one true version).
That version is fine if you don't mind reading a dead language. I much prefer to read it in modern english myself.

Anyway, there is no "REAL" mystery as to where this woman came from.
The bible itself tells us, in any litteral translation you care to read.
