Adam & Eve had 3 sons. So where did the rest of us come from?

Answer 1

The sons were motherf***ers.

Answer 2

The Bible say Adam live over 800 and had sons and daughters. Buy the time Adam died. He had sons, daughters, and grandchilden. By the time the last one was born of Adam and eve.... there were 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on, cousins. It actually doesn't take that long to have a huge gene pool.

People will say you mean that you believe that all the humans today came from just 2 married people at the dawn of time.

But evolutionist believe that we came from a primordial soup that sparked life into a single celled organism. This divided. The one day one change to a female and she also found one that had changed into a male. Then one day one became a two celled creature. then they found a mating partner. Then a three celled which found a mating partner for millions of years this happen until you have millions of species.

So Adam & Eve were the first and only pair he created. Or He created more humans (Which would have had to eat of the "Fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil too. Or they will still be in the garden with eternal life.
Or Rain beat upon the rock. This made a soupy, muddy material. Then static caused a spark which caused this soupy material to come alive. Then find mating partners. Oh! don't forget some turned into plant life.
Or some other reason that is beyond our comprehention.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve are symbolic of the first human species. The Book of Genesis should not be read as if it were a scientific treatise. Remember that long before it existed in writing, it was handed down by word of mouth over many generations, each of which was illiterate (because writing hadn't been invented yet).

And... If the question about Adam and Eve's offspring has you wondering about things, try these two questions: (1) why do depictions of Adam show him with a belly button? and (2) why do men have nipples?

Answer 4

OK, so your question should be your first clue that Adam and Eve is a MYTH, you know, not a true story, but to teach something very basic, that God created everything. But not to be taken literally.
If you claim to take everything the Bible says word for word as true, then how can you explain that there are two different creation stories? Also if you believe that, then the Earth is only 6000 years old, right? Then explain how we can see the Andromeda Galaxy that is like 2.5 MILLION light years away? (mean it takes light from there 2.5 million years to reach earth because it is so far away). You believe what you want, and that is your right, I am just posing questions back at you.

Answer 5

I believe there were more people,
And Adam and Eve didn't only have three sons, they had many sons and daughters both.
When Cain was cursed and said that he was afraid that others would see him and kill him, I think the other people he was referring to were possibly created after the garden of Eden.
Besides that there are many things the Bible doesn't mention.

Answer 6

Genesis 5:4- After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters.

The bible only names 3 sons, but goes on to say he had many children, it just does not give their names.

Adam and Eve were only two people that God made, it mentions towns and cities that were living places for other people God created.

Answer 7

Everyone is descended from Adam and Eve. They are the start of the human race.

Answer 8

Who said that they ONLY had three kids? only sons? That is not from my Christian
Bible. Just because it dose not mention othere dose not mean there were not more. A whole lot more... remember they lived for a VERY long time... And the time of fertility for Eve is not mentioned...

Answer 9

They were the first people, not the only people. And we are not all descended from Adam and Eve. Cain went to another land to find his wife after he killed his brother.

Answer 10

Where did Cain get his wife? Adam “became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain took one of his sisters or perhaps one of his nieces as a wife. Later, God’s Law to the Israelites did not permit the marriage of a fleshly brother and sister.—Leviticus 18:9.

One might think that after the murder of Abel, only his guilty brother Cain and their parents, Adam and Eve, were left on the earth. However, Adam and Eve had a large family. According to Genesis 5:3, 4, Adam had a son named Seth. The account adds: “The days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters.” So Cain married his sister or perhaps one of his nieces. Since mankind was then so close to human perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the health risks that may imperil the offspring of such a union today.

Adam was cast out of Eden into an unsubdued earth that was cursed to produce thorns and thistles, there to sweat out an existence, harvesting the bitter fruits of his sin. Outside the garden, awaiting death, Adam fathered sons and daughters, the names of only three being preserved—Cain, Abel, and Seth. To all of his children Adam passed on hereditary sin and death, since he himself was sinful.—Ge 3:23; 4:1, 2, 25.

Consider, for example, the often-raised problem about Cain’s wife. At Genesis 4:1, 2 we read: “In time [Eve] gave birth to Cain and said: ‘I have produced a man with the aid of Jehovah.’ Later she again gave birth, to his brother Abel.” As is well known, Cain killed Abel; but after that, we read that Cain had a wife and children. (Genesis 4:17) If Adam and Eve had only two sons, where did Cain find his wife?

The solution lies in the fact that Adam and Eve had more than two children. According to the context, they had a large family. At Genesis 5:3 we read that Adam became father to another son named Seth and then, in the following verse, we read: “He became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain could have married one of his sisters or even one of his nieces. At that early stage of human history, when mankind was so close to perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the risks for the children of the union that it would today.


Seth may not have been the third child of Adam and Eve. According to Genesis 5:4, Adam had “sons and daughters,” some of whom may have been born before Seth. Seth is worthy of note because Noah, and through him the present-day race of mankind, descended from him, not from the murderous Cain. At the age of 105 years Seth became father to Enosh. Seth died at the age of 912 years.

Answer 11

Actually Adam and Eve had other children to include daughters as well. They (siblings) inter married.
