Then how was the world filled with other people? Did Eve sleep with her sons to populate the world?

No, she did not. Although it does not say exactly how many children Adam and Eve did have, it does explain in the Bible that they had many sons and daughters, though it only specifically talks about three sons- Cain, Abel, and Seth. If you read farther in Genesis it talks about the generations of Adam. We all come from Adam and Eve.

the bible says that God created Adam and eve, but fails to tell us of any other He created. I don't believe that our Lord would have created "just" them. Man wrote the bible under His direction. If everything that God had done was written, we'd still be writing today. That's just about like the flood. Noah and his children and their wives were the only ones to survive the flood. was their children in-breads? NO! the flood was in that region. not over the whole world. The bible says that God created the heavens and the earth. you notice it says "heavenS" as in more than 1. No where does it say that He didn't create more .

Adam is a metaphor for mankind (including the female of the species). Adam is not just one man and neither is Eve just one woman. The transgression they committed by eating the fruit of the knowledge of both good and evil was actually committed by all of mankind - and that includes you and me. We were there. If we didn't dwell in the world of the dead and the world of forgetfulness we would remember it.

Actually Adam and Eve had more than just the two boys. They had many children. Not only that but Adam had a first wife named Lilith. Mostly it was incest but some could have been from Lilith too.

That was two sets of twins , a boy and a girl then another boy and girl then a boy.
Have you heard of the theory of simultaneous creation?
Or that Adam & EVE were just the first people of the race we call the Isrealites? And other races where created before them?

adam and eve isnt a true story logically it cant be because she would have inbred with her sons and genetically they would end up with mutations and the human race couldnt populate and survive
its just a story for religion

Most creationists agree that yes, the population of the world started with incest. this has been backed up with eveidence that people long ago were in fact extremely intelligent. the egyptians were using electricity since way before we discovered it!
The laws about incest weren't introuduced until the book of leviticus. long after adam and eve and after the flood of noah. so before then, it was normal to marry your relative! and our genes were still good enough that they didn't get wrecked that badly....

obviously, the world was already populated. also, after cain killed his brother, he went to live with another group of people, so where did they come from. eve could not have given birth to the whole world. the bible is not literal, people!

They had female children also and there was incest in the beggining,there had to be.THen after there were enough to populate the world there was no need for incest and then it became a sin.

Which would make the world's genes weak, incestous and corrupt
