Abel and Children

       In this next post I would like to address the following issue. Why do people automatically presume that Abel had no children. He had a wife in a time when having children that could work would be considered important. Abel's been potrayed as a boy but he was really a young man. He was fully capable of reproducing with his wife. At least, as far as we know. It is quite possible and likely that Abel left several children behind after his death. TAhey were most likely taken in by Adam and Eve after his death.  Sometimes I wonder if all the emotionally insecure people in the world aren't desvended from Abel's children. In conclusion, why claim Cain and Seth as the only progenitors, if Abel could have produced children before his death as well?
