This has been something I have been thinking about, I did not figure out a proper title for this thread so I decided to name it as such, what this thread is about is:

We are often told about the people who live in the jungles of sentinel island and remote areas with no clothes and no clue about God (except for idolatry and ancestry worship) and most importantly: NO AGRICULTURE. No farming.

I got this idea as I was reading about the "caveman diet" of nothing but meat and berries etc. My mind was instantly drawn to the Bible where farming seems to have been a thing since day one? Clothing seems to have been a thing for a long time too.. So my question is: Is the world lying to us on this topic as well? How do we explain the tribes in the sentinel islands being that way, why are they that way? Any biblical answers/answers in general? I would greatly appreciate it.

I can only speak of what I know, so in Africa the land provide to the people and because of that there is no to very little knowledge of farming with indigenous tribes. If the land provides to the people why would they farm? Also they did not have the seeds to farm. If the people living in these jungles did not have seeds to grow, why would they bother farming?

Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

Lots of hunters and fishers in the Bible, and some of them Disciples, seemed to like to do it naked. Esau was a happy hairy hunter.:D


Romans
1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.
1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

To add to this, farming is a learned skill, and as such, it can be forgotten over the generations if not consciously preserved.

They were farming in the garden. Cain tilled the ground while Able tended to the flock.

If by "the garden", you mean Eden, Cain and Abel weren't there. They were born after Adam and Eve were expelled.

God creates an environment designed for the [ground to be tilled]. But the end of verse 5 explains who God intended to till the ground.
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.


Then [after] God creates man, God puts man near the [Planted Garden] just East of Eden.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.


God had an issue concerning the ground being tilled. His solution is man to till the ground. After creating man, God puts man into His Planted Garden just East of Eden.

Adam and Eve were to tend the garden. Eat anything they wanted except one thing.
