The Adam/Eve story is a myth. In the Biblical categorization of time, there is simply no way that human beings could have populated the earth with (nearly) 7 billion people, according to Biblical myth.

the first question I'm still a little fuzzy on, but I think I know what you're trying to say, and in that case I have the same question. The theory of evolution is a THEORY!!! not fact. You know? it's aggrevating.
2. Dinosaurs ARE in fact mentioned in the Bible, believe it or not. Unfortunately I do not have a Bible where I am writing this from, but there are several. They are not called "dinosaurs" because that term was not coined until the 1800's, but there are several "great beasts" described, including large lizards that have characteristics that correlate with some dinosaurs that scientists have studied. People ask sometimes "well, how did they get two of every dinosaur on the ark?!" Reptiles grow their entire life. As long as a lizard is alive it will continue to grow, so the dinosaurs on the ark were not necessarily 60 feet tall, you know?
3.yes. Adam and Even did have more sons and daughters after Cain and Able. Genesis was the very beginning of things, and it wasn't until the book of Leviticus that Moses recorded all the rules regarding who you can marry and who you can't marry and who you can have relations with and who you can't. (it is disturbingly specific, too) So, in a way, there was nothing wrong or inappropriate about Cain marrying his sister. This was, after all, the only way to "multiply" as God commanded them. This was the beginning of things. In today's world it would be completely unacceptable to do this, but at that time it had not been deemed taboo.
I hope this helps clear some of that up.

1. Not everyone believes in God so they come up with other ways to teach about life- evolution-
2. Dinosaurs were after the Bible times that is why there is no mention of them.
3. Adam and Eve were the first two- some angels came to earth and I am sure others were created because that is how the population grew and how Cain had a wife. There were many years that Adam and Eve were on the earth before they died. The Bible only talks of them being the first not the only.

1) Schools are trying to get away from religion and also I know when I was in school, we were taught three different theories about origin of life, not just one. It is, after all, only a theory....
2) Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs but yes we know they existed at some point... I imagine it just wasn't important enough to worry about.
3) Adam and Eve had more than just the two boys. Not only that, Adam lived to be something like 930 years old. I'm sure that he had lots to choose from by then :)

1. The evolutionary theory is being taught in public schools because God isn't allowed in those public schools. However, some public schools are now being taught about the possibility of a "Higher Power" creating the universe. Creation is taught in Christian schools, however.
2. Actually, some believe that a dinosaur is being talked about in the book of Job. Even if that wasn't a dinosaur, just because it wasn't mentioned in the Bible doesn't mean it didn't exist.
3. Cain and Abel weren't Adam and Eve's only children. They are just the only ones mentioned BY NAME in the Bible.

1. churches do not have a say in what need to be taught in school, something about separation of church and state.
2. The "every creepeth thing" in Genesis should be enought to cover that. If God states each single thing that was created, I do not think we can finish reading the Bible in our life time. Did you wander why put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden before out cast to the rest of the world?
3.There were more than Cain and Abel, why do you think we called each other brother and sister?

1.The teaching of evolution is part of Satans scheme to turn people away from belief in God.True Christians hold fast to Bible truths.
2.Dinosaurs may well have been created in the fifth creative 'day' in Genesis,when the Bible says that God made"flying creatures" and "great sea monsters".The vast array of dinosaurs with their huge appetites would have been appropriate considering the abundant vegatation that likely existed in their time.-Gen.1:20-24.
When the dinosaurs had fulfilled their purpose,God ended their life.But the Bible is silent on when he did this and how.We can be sure that dinosaurs were created by Jehovah for a purpose,even if we do not fully understand that purpose at this time.
3.Gen.5:4 states that Adam lived for 930 years and during that time he fathered sons and daughters.Cain would have married one of his sisters,which was quite acceptable at that early stage because man was still very close to perfection and there was no risks associated with such a close union.Also there would not have been any other way to reproduce.Even Abraham married his half sister Sarah,some 2000 years later.It was another 450 years or so before God saw it fit to provide his nation of Israel a body of laws that forbade incest on the penalty of death.(Lev.18:8-17).By that time imperfection had developed to such an extent that no longer was it safe for close relatives to marry.
If you require answers to Bible based questions,why not consider going to your local kingdom hall of Jehovahs Witnesses who would be only too happy to answer them for you and even conduct a free home bible study with you

In my experience, you just ask God for his guidance. Some questions cannot be answered literally. The question about the dinosaur - it is referred to as a behemoth in the bible.
