5	* The Creator forbade His angels from helping the fallen mankind, an order which some of them disobeyed resulting in the Watchers. Given what happened to the Earth after they intervened, the Creator's orders indicate He had already foreseen how screwed up mankind would become when given knowledge and tools and let loose without any sense of morality, which is why he forbade them in the first place.
6	** Moreover, the opening text specifically said that Cain's descendants built an ''industrial'' civilization. It never said anything about them also discovering ''agriculture''. So it's hardly a surprise that the Cainites rapidly exhausted the world's plant and animal life, if they weren't raising any of their own crops or livestock.
7
8	* The fact that God's only referred to as the creator. A mere artistic change, or a nod to the fact that in the Hebrew texts, God's (or Yahweh's) name is never spoken aloud?
9	** Possibly even a nod to the fact that, at this point, creating things is God's ''only'' benevolent miracle. It'll take a few more Bible verses until He actually starts decreeing guidelines, answering prayers, and demanding specific rites of worship, or offers a covenant to Abraham.

13	* You do realize Japheth is going to have to fuck one of his own nieces, right?
14	** Presumably so is Ham, if he comes back.
15	*** Hey, remember that the entire human race before was produce by Adam and Eve..with no other woman or man. So it was already incest to begin with.
16	** Who did Cain marry?
17	*** His twin sister Aclima, according to the Midrash and Islamic sources.
18	*** His sister or his mother.
19	*** This was totally acceptable at that point, believe it or not. Incest was not specifically forbidden until the book of Leviticus and remained widely accepted until around the time of Abraham.

21	* Ila is ''incredibly'' lucky that she was wounded as a child and left barren. If she hadn't been, Noah very likely would have thrown her off the Ark and left her to die in the flood.
22
23	* All the cannibalism and rape and brutality going on in Tubal-Cain's camp? That's what was happening among the ''strongest'' remaining human city's refugees, who'd lived close by enough to follow the birds to the Ark construction-site. For those dying cities that were too far away for the inhabitants to reach Noah's forest, their populations had probably '''already''' fought and ravished and eaten each other into extinction by the time the Flood struck.
