Verse 28 - "be fruitful and multiply" and then into Genesis 2 - marriage. The family principle is central to God's purpose.Um... you mean Genesis 1:26-28, surely? God invented the family.
Man + woman does not = family. There's no family until Can & Abel are born. And I was speaking generally.

That God quite sensibly took a variation of an already understood pagan concept in order to speak to pagans? i.e like your accomadation theory concept?Even if it was, what would that prove?
The concept of family is not a pagan one. It arose organically from observations of nature. God didn't say 'I'm going to call myself a Father and Jesus my Son because pagans have this concept called "families" and that will make sense to them.'
Um... you mean Genesis 1:26-28, surely? God invented the family.
