Cain and Seth would've had children with one of their sisters. They all would've still been very highly superior genetically than we are today.

But...still the bible does not say.
Maybe you can help me sort out these verses?
Genesis 4:12-17
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and
a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore
whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest
any finding him should kill him.
16 ¶And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and
dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
The bible does not say that was driven out with his wife. The bible said he would be a "vagabond" and a "fugitive"-- single..not plural. Perhaps the bible would say thou and thy wife shall be vagabonds, and fugitives?
I'm not denying the truthfulness of the bible, just have some questions right now here on earth. I am thinking that Christ will explain much more when I see Him, because I believe that there is much more than what is contained in the Bible. That can be proved scripturally.
