This one small verse tucked into the end of chapter four of Genesis:

And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD. (Gen 4:26 )

Do the math and you’ll see that this was 235 years after Adam’s creation. It seems to illustrate that mankind was ‘gun-shy’ so to speak about relating to the Lord. Let’s consider what had happened up to this point.
