Great question. Let me say that I have read the bible and I am a Christian and let me say I have done some extensive research on this subject.
1st of all the bible tell us that Cain knew his wife and she bare him a son. Which obviously means that Adam and Eve had daughters as well as sons, but they are not mentioned in name.
2nd of all I believe that with God all things are possible. So therefore when Adam and Eve had children and those children were intimate with each other and had offspring and so on and so on, then it is all part of God's plan.
3rd I also believe that it was an entirely different world at that time. I believe that the DNA for Adam and Eve's children allowed them to have offspring and not have any issues or deformities. If you read Genesis and look at the years that they lived prior to the flood you can see that it is definitely a different world. After the flood the life expectancy drops dramatically. I believe that after that time period inbreeding is no longer acceptable or permitted.
Good question! Keep reading the bible and asking and studying.

When Cain killed Abel they threw him out of the garden and he went out and found a wife! Yours is a good question because I believe that there were others beyond the garden otherwise Cain would not have been able to find a wife. Adam and Eve are only the first two of their particular race, so the Bible is a history book of their people. The rest is a mystery or another history! What do you think of that theory, anything is possible. I do believe in a higher power!
Oh yeah and to the guy above who believes in evolution, I did not evolve from any monkey, I dont know about you.

that they had 3 sons and some daughters...at the same time as Cain become kicked out, the Bible says he got here upon a spouse...besides the undeniable fact that it would not say the position she got here from and then Adam and Eve had Seth...i imagine the brothers and sisters intermarried...it become favourite to ensue that moms and sons now and again had 'kin' besides the undeniable fact that it become extra instantly ahead (in the previous) for a brother/sister 'marriage'. Abraham married his 0.5-sister (Sarah)and Lot were given his 2 daughters pregnant. those are the in uncomplicated phrases ones i'm able to imagine of properly this second. Polygamy become extremely instantly ahead, besides the undeniable fact that...

Adam and eve is a myth, like santa clause. A real person name St Nicholas did exist but the reality is a lot different that the Santa we know. Same with Adam and Eve. The best info i know of was a TV show called The Real Eve. It was narrated by Danny Glover. That would answer your question quite well.

Adam and Eve had daughters. During that time, marriage between brothers and sisters were permitted. Then a time came when this was not permissable. Refer to the age of mankind. Society grows. It's as simple as that.

Because in other parts of the world, there were other men and women who had kids. Adam and Eve is just a Christian representation of how man came to be. Other religions have other creation stories.

Well if you take the Genisis account literally then there had to be some incest going on. If Adam and Eve only had sons then Eve had to be the mother of the son's children. If she had daughters that are not mentioned in Genisis then they had to bear children from their brothers.

I was talking to my mom about this one, cause it's tough. She is a very good religious person, and she says that they also had a third son named 'Seth'. And she also says that Adam sent his sons to look for wives, so obviously there were other people, but you also have think about other stuff, because all of the records aren't in the bible because then the bible would be a wayyyy bigger book than it already is.

this is how it goes
Adam and Eve had LOTS of children, but no incest went on

You actually believe all that sh*t? Ever hear of evolution. If Adam and Eve were real, then we would all be into incest!!....
