Obviously we're havin a little misunderstanding. Monks do not necessarily have to be of Catholic faith. I was referring to those people who wrote down the various passages which were canonized later on.

Agreed. :)

It's my opinion that Adam and Eve where not the only people on the Earth at that point. Maybe God spent time experimenting by populating the Earth with different animals such as Dinosaurs and early proto humans before finally deciding on homo-erectus. Man created in his own image with the ability to think and most importantly talk. Maybe he created several humans but chose to place only Adam and later Eve in the garden. Afrer a great deal of thought I have found I cannot believe in macro evolution (micro yes, macro no) so in my opinion all animal species (including for example Neanderthal man and Dinosaurs) must have been created by God at some point.
I just don't know how else to interpret the fact it says God created "man and woman" and instructed them to be "fruitful and multiply" and have "dominion" over all of the animals. Then rested on the seventh day before creating Adam.
So I believe that after the expulsion from Eden, Adam and Eve met up with some of those other humans and we came from there. That's how Seth and Cain could have families even if Adam and Eve didn't have daughters (and it means there was less incest too.)

Do some research ;). Key terms: "Jahwist & Priestly Source". Take care of the historical background in particular. Adam & Eve is not about God - it's about man.

I'd like to know too because I've never understood why Mary and Joseph would go to Betlehem. Seeing as how Palestine was not at that time under Roman control so I don't quite see how Caeser was planning on taxing the population.
