In today’s terms, Cain (evolution theory) and Abel (creation theory) are still with us, struggling one against the other to win favour over the minds of the population. Cain slew Abel; how? The Bible said they talked! Cain slew Abel with words.
Ge:4:8: And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
It is easy to imagine this happening when one realises that the larger part of the population is agnostic, not unlike Cain. It seems that Abel just became very much outnumbered. He became a minority group whose blood (spiritual life or energy) calls out from the dust of the ground (mankind), just as it does today.
It is also interesting to note that the Lord replaced Abel with Seth (whose name means Substitute).
Ge:4:25: And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Now here is an interesting fact that reinforces the view that Cain and Abel were doctrines. Seth also was a doctrine. Seth was one of the major religions of Upper Egypt dating back as far as the fourth century B.C. and it is thought by many scholars that the Egyptian Seth is the same Seth represented in the Bible. So we see that Seth also represented a religion as did Abel. In fact Seth is one of Egypt’s founder gods who battled Osiris. In the second century BC we know of the Sethites who claimed perfection as being the Son of Adam.
