74:6.1 The Adamic [[family]] [[Land|grounds]] ''embraced'' a little over five square miles[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London]. [[Immediately]] [[surrounding]] this [[home]]site, provision had been made for the [[care]] of more than three hundred thousand of the [[pure]]-line [[offspring]]. But only the first [[unit]] of the projected buildings was ever constructed. Before the size of the Adamic [[family]] outgrew these early provisions, the whole Edenic [[plan]] had been disrupted and [[the Garden]] vacated.
74:6.2 ''Adamson'' was the first-born of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78 violet race] of [[Urantia]], being followed by his sister and ''Eveson'', the second son of Adam and Eve. [[Eve]] was the [[mother]] of five [[children]] before the [[Melchizedeks]] left—three sons and two daughters. The next two were twins. She bore sixty-three children, thirty-two daughters and thirty-one sons, before the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_75 default]. When Adam and Eve left [[the Garden]], their [[family]] consisted of four [[generations]] numbering 1,647 [[pure]]-line descendants. They had forty-two children after leaving [[the Garden]] besides the two [[offspring]] of joint parentage with the [[mortal]] stock of [[earth]]. And this does not include the Adamic parentage to the [[Nodite]] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 evolutionary races].
74:6.3 The Adamic [[children]] did not take milk from [[animals]] when they ceased to nurse the [[mother]]'s [[breast]] at one year of age. [[Eve]] had [[access]] to the milk of a great variety of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuts nuts] and to the juices of many [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruits fruits], and knowing full well the [[chemistry]] and [[energy]] of these [[foods]], she suitably combined them for the nourishment of her [[children]] until the [[appearance]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teeth teeth].
74:6.4 While [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking cooking] was [[universally]] employed outside of the [[immediate]] Adamic sector of [[Eden]], there was no cooking in [[Adam]]'s household. They found their [[foods]]—[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruits fruits], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuts nuts], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereals cereals]—ready [[prepared]] as they ripened. They ate once a day, shortly after noontime. Adam and Eve also imbibed "[[light]] and [[energy]]" direct from certain [[space]] [[emanations]] in conjunction with the [[ministry]] of the [[tree of life]].
74:6.5 The [[bodies]] of Adam and Eve gave forth a shimmer of [[light]], but they always wore clothing in [[conformity]] with the [[custom]] of their [[associates]]. Though wearing very little during the day, at eventide they donned night wraps. The [[origin]] of the [[traditional]] [[halo]] encircling the heads of supposed [[pious]] and [[holy]] men dates back to the days of Adam and Eve. Since the [[light]] [[emanations]] of their [[bodies]] were so largely obscured by [[clothing]], only the radiating [[glow]] from their heads was [[discernible]]. The descendants of Adamson always thus portrayed their [[concept]] of [[individuals]] believed to be extraordinary in [[spiritual]] [[development]].
74:6.6 Adam and Eve could [[communicate]] with each other and with their [[immediate]] [[children]] over a distance of about fifty miles. This [[thought]] exchange was [[effect]]ed by means of the delicate [[gas]] chambers located in close proximity to their [[brain]] [[structures]]. By this [[mechanism]] they could send and receive [[thought]] [[oscillations]]. But this [[power]] was instantly suspended upon the [[mind]]'s [[surrender]] to the discord and disruption of [[evil]].
74:6.7 The Adamic [[children]] attended their own schools until they were sixteen, the younger being taught by the [[elder]]. The little folks changed [[activities]] every thirty minutes, the older every hour. And it was certainly a new [[sight]] on [[Urantia]] to [[observe]] these [[children]] of Adam and Eve at [[play]], [[joyous]] and exhilarating [[activity]] just for the sheer fun of it. The [[play]] and [[humor]] of the present-day [[races]] are largely derived from the Adamic stock. The Adamites all had a great [[appreciation]] of [[music]] as well as a keen sense of [[humor]].
74:6.8 The [[average]] age of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betrothal betrothal] was eighteen, and these [[youths]] then entered upon a two years' [[course]] of instruction in [[preparation]] for the [[assumption]] of [[marital]] [[responsibilities]]. At twenty they were eligible for [[marriage]]; and after [[marriage]] they began their [[Work|lifework]] or entered upon special [[preparation]] therefor.
74:6.9 The [[practice]] of some subsequent nations of permitting the royal [[families]], supposedly [[descended]] from the [[gods]], to marry [[Siblings|brother to sister]], dates from the [[traditions]] of the Adamic [[offspring]]—[[mating]], as they must needs, with one another. The [[marriage]] [[ceremonies]] of the first and second [[generations]] of the Garden were always [[performed]] by Adam and Eve.
