Adam lived 930 years (Gen 5:5)
They did not meet any people after the expulsion. If you are refering to Cain "knowing" his wife after he was sent away. "know" is a euphemism used in the Bible for having sex. He already had a wife and probably children when he left. His wife being one of his sisters or cousins.

Adam and Eve lived almost 1000 years (Adam - 930) They populated the earth with their children and living for that many years would have had and extremely large family. It is thought that the climate of the earth in those days was much different from now, plus would be virtually disease free and allow for those long life spans. By the time the flood took place the life spans were starting to drop and by Abraham people were living from 100 - 200 years, and by the time of David they were living about the same length of time as today, about 70 years.

Okaay, here's a therory to ponder, or laugh at, or yell at... as you will:
There was a woman name of Lillith who could have been there at the same time as A&A. Legend and lore propose that she was removed from mention in the Bible because she was too uppity and would have upset too many of the masses. To go farther into conjecture why couldn't have she had a man paired with here as well? That couple Lillith and say 'Lenard' moved out of the garden before Eve and Adam and begat their own children. Add that time was going at a faster pace outside of the garden and there is some accounting of those they met. No metion was made of the Patriarch and Matriarch of those others for fear of still being on God's bad side.

The creation story is allegory. Asking how long Adam and Eve lived is like asking how long Huckleberry Finn lived.

I do not think Adam and eve were ever alive. That is a story that is made up by the church. If they were real they would have to be cave men. hair all over their body, we found cave men before, so since they do not exist anymore that prove evolution, where are they?
