Adam and Eve had many children not mentioned in the Bible. The children married each other.
Remember that God's only commandment during this time was to populate the earth. There was no need to have any law against incest at that time.
In a few generations, there were so many people, that the restriction on incest wasn't really a factor anymore. There were plenty of "distant enough" relatives to marry.

Adam and Eve's other children. This was before incest was prohibited (which would happen in the Book of Leviticus). Adam and Eve had other children, even though they weren't mentioned explicitly (because they didn't play as important a role in biblical history). Adam and Eve lived an awful long time, so to think they only had a few kids is erroneous.

I have often wondered the same thing. I certainly believe in God's creation of Adam and Eve, but the bones are in the earth as a testimony to evolution. I think that Neanderthal man were the inhabitants of Nod, where Cain found his wife.

Adam and Eve always had twins (one boy and one girl). The two twins could not marry each other, but they could marry from the other sets of twins. It sounds like incest, but how else was the human race supposed to expand!!

Because of the brief reference to the "sons of God" who took wives of the "daughters of men" there has been speculation that Adam was indeed the first man created by God but was he the only one? Some would even say that this refers to the union of angels and mortals. Very fascinating if you ask me.
P.S. (a long one)That Nate guy sounds like a sad bitter person, by the way. I'm not very religious, but who wants to live a life of cynicism? I mean, who do you think we call on as soon as we see those flashing lights behind us on the highway? "Please God, let it just be a warning!".......don't look at me like that...you know you do it too! (:

Lilith and samael are myths dating from the medievil middle ages...so thats not it.
The answer is: No one! Adam and Eve are fictional characters used by a primitive society to explain it's beginnings.

with each other of course... God makes the rules... and if He said it was allright in those days then that is the way it was... remember that Adam and eve have many, many,many children in their very very long lives... Cain could well have married his own grand niece....it is not said when he got married and it is not said who did it with who... it just got done... as God intended it.

It would explain much about the violence of humanity if we are all the products of incest. But I suspect they married the Soulless Ones, the Neandrethals and Cro Magnon men around them.
