It was told by the bible that adam and eve had two kids Abel and Cain, and it was also said that many people came after Abel and Cain, How did Abel and Cain have kids, I mean isn't it necessary for the opposite sex to be present.
Who was there with Abel and Cain to help generations of people to come?

They had other sons and daughters. cain and able are the ones we read about because they were the first humans involved in murder.
Genesis 5 give account for adam and his son seth, and mentions his many other sons and daughters.

I suggest you start reading your Bible more carefully and attentively next time, and stop being such a fundamentalist. The answer is there in black and white!
Other that Cain and Abel there are other people mentioned. So there were other people (and women) around besides Cain and Abel.

Adam and Eve had several children. Some where mentioned. Others were not. The Bible does not mention how many children where there or when they were born, with the exception of Cain and Able. The only other child mentioned in the Bible was Seth. I hope this helps you.

They also had other children. They are unmentioned. You have to read between the lines when it comes to the Bible because some things were lost in translation. It can also be assumed that Adam and Eve were in one tribe and there were other groups of people. Nobody really knows for sure. I am a christian but my interpretations may be different from somebody else. Hope this helps your understanding.

Adam and Eve had many kids. The bible mentions the important people in the bible. If the bible would go into too much detail, do you how much bigger this book would be. Man goes by logic, God doesn't need logic to have things be what they are.

lol hon, you've got the story wrong. Cain killed Abel, then was banished to another land by God.
We assume Adam and Eve had kids, but Cain himself was sent off to another land where he eventually found a wife and another people to be with.
Poor folks he went to, they got a murderer.

I read the other answers given for this and
1. its true, Cain had other brothers and sisters and
2. its true, he took off and found a wife somewheres else.
Of course, Hebrews wrote the Bible supposedly inspired by God.
My joke has always been: In 4026 BCE God created Adam and Eve....
...and I wonder if the Chinese knew about it.

Genesis 5:3 And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters. 5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.
Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters. They intermarried to produce progeny. There was no prohibition from God in those days against this behavior.

The Bible also states (if you read carefully and long enough) that Adam and Eve had hundreds of children.
