#32. How Many Humans? and Other Stuff?

Exactly how many stars did God form on the fourth day of creation? 100? 1000? one gazillion? And when God created the animals and birds and fish, how many were there in all? 100 of each species? 1000? 100,000? one billion? It's doubtful that God began it all with but one rooster and one hen; with only two cows; with just a couple of sparrows; with two tiny worms; with a couple of goldfish in a bowl. So tell me, when did God stop creating the animal kingdom on that fifth day of the first week of creation?

And, of course, I also want to know just how many humans God created in that first week?
"So God created people in his own image; God patterned them after himself; male and female he created them." (Genesis 1:27).
Now Chapter 2 of Genesis tells of God creating the first man and woman, but how many others did God form on the sixth day of creation? 100? 1000? 29,307? 1 million? If Adam and Eve is all there were from the start of it all, where did their two sons, Cain and Abel, find wives to marry? Maybe the Inquirer could give me a lead or two. I wonder: just how many folk were created before God said . . . under his breath, "I think that's enough . . . for now!!!"
