Any thoughts on Gen 3:15? Does this affect us today?
Or it can be taken as a prophecy, so the situation cannot be changed anyway, so why even try?
But, as we are responsible for our actions, we cannot blame anything or anyone for our actions. Fundamentalists may try, but they are outdated by several milennia already.

The "seed of the woman" part seems normally to be taken as Christ, but what is the "seed" of the serpent?? I never actually noticed that part before.

A doctrinal and potentially social minefield.
Some summary and insight in Wiki at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_seed
OK, so now we know what it is NOT (or at least what orthodox Christianity says it is not). That still begs the question as to what it IS, or, what othodox Christianity says it is.
Any help here?

Surely Eve would have known where they were as they must also logically be her children.

==============================
I don't recall Abel's wife being mentioned. However Cain's wife is mentioned.
And the other unnamed sons "and daughters" of Adam were also mentioned in Genesis 5:4. One of them could have been a wife for Cain.
They married near relatives in those early days of man.
