He made love with whose wife? Abel's? His mother is Adam's wife, he was still alive.
Btw it's Cain that kills Abel.
Well according to my teacher of compared literatures, Adam and Eve had several children, which married among each other cos there were no other people on earth... Incest wasn't a crime then, but a necessity. And that's how the human race developed...
In Byron's Cain, Cain has a wife/sister called Adah, and Abel's one is called Zillah... In other pieces of literature about it they have different names, but the tradition in literature seems to indicate they both had a wife...which wa also their sister...

You can see there that the general definition of an oracle is a god, or a person who supposedly has a connection with a god, who gives answers to people, usually involving future events. So it would seem to me that Otto's remark about knowing everything but not being an oracle was both a valid remark, and a bloody sarcastic remark that you were supposed to laugh at and then disregard.
Also, after Adam and Eve were exiled from the Garden of Eden, what was to stop god from making more people? Though I think the two answers otto gave are the most probable, it seems to me that God could have simply created more people, knowing that now humans wouldn't live forever, so they would need to procreate more, and have more genetic diversity.
