If humanity really started from Adam and Eve and their two son’s, how did it go on? If that’s the case humanity went on reproducing through incest for a loooong time before existing people started becoming distant relatives to be ok for them to get it on.
What do you think?

dont forget that the incest started all over again with Noah's family after the flood, if you believe that crap we are all a bunch of inbred hicks that god decided to turn some into chinese, mexican, etc. at some vague point in history that would only go back a few thousand years......pure craziness

Adam had many sons and daughters beside Cain and Able. The blood line at that time was pure so they did have children from their relatives. Genesis 5: 4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

Yes, Adam and Eve's children did marry and have children,and so on and so on. It was permitted so they could populate the earth. The same was allowed for Noah and his family. His children married and so on and so on , so they could re populate the earth until God was satisfied at the numbers of people on the earth, then He changed it and made it wrong. God always has His reasons, and they are always right.

incest is punished by God isnt it? Maybe there was more than Adam and Eve that the bible doesnt mentions??? Remember that the Bible was crated by humans and it could have some 'extra' and 'less' information that it could and coudnt be included in the Bible

That's exactly correct. It was not until the Law of Moses came into effect, that you could not marry a close relative. Abraham who lived before the Law came into effect, married his half sister Sarah.

Hebrew word 'adam' means man...
Hewbrew word 'eve' means woman...
God created man...God created woman...
Adam & Eve are not just one man & one woman in Genesis...but God created man...God created woman...means the human race He created...
Now to confuse some of us even further...I had an Episcopal Priest tell me that the first 18, maybe 19, chapters of the Bible are a myth...when I gave him a 'dirty' look, he explained...A myth is an eternal truth without reference to time & place...
Had to think about that one for a while...makes sense to me....

I do not know about one man, but scientists do say we all have one mother. A world wide survey of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was published by Cann, Stoneking, and Wilson in Nature magazine. Its main point was that "all mitochondrial DNAs stem from one woman" and that she probably lived around 200,000 years ago in Africa.
