That’s the least of its problems. Apparently the world was created after the invention of beer. The agricultural revolution happened several thousand years earlier. Or the domestication of the dog.

> The Bible also mentions that some people in it had more children than were named. It doesn’t say how many total children Adam and Eve had in the end, only that they had at least five.

At least seven, according to Genesis 5:4.
