Default if cain was banished how could he have married his sister

firstly i am conceding 2 points here

firstly i accept that cains sister would want to marry the worlds first murderer

secondly i accept he had a sister despite lack of evidence

but he was banished to another land and force to wander in the land of nod so why would his sister go with him and marry him

Some women are just naturally attracted to the "bad boy".

Given the timeframe and lifespan depicted in those first few chapters, I don't think apologists have much trouble arguing that this is possible.

The problem with arguing with creationists and apologists is that instead of arguing the points on their turf, it is more logical to argue that their position is flawed in the first place, and arguing the details following is pointless.

In this case it is ridiculous in the first place to argue that humanity arose from two genetically perfect individuals, which is the whole basis of the following apologetic argumentation.
