According to the bible......Adam and eve were created and bore two children. One died, leaving only one child. Cain was banished and sent to Nod, where he found a wife and had a child. How in the world did Cain find a wife, in some other land, when his parents were the first humans to be created?
If christians can create other beings out of nothing, then why can't evolutionists "create" the earth out of nothing. (big bang theory)

Is that your best...
Cain was the first child of Adam and Eve recorded in Scripture His brothers, Abeland Seth, were part of the first generation of children ever born on this earth.
In Genesis 5:4 a statement sums up the life of Adam and Eve -- "And the days of Adam after he had fathered Seth were eight hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters." This does not say when they were born. Many could have been born in the 130 years (Genesis 5:3) before Seth was born.
The Bible does not tell us how many children were born to Adam and Eve. However, considering their long life spans (Adam lived for 930 years -- Genesis 5:5), it would seem reasonable to suggest there were many! Remember, They were commanded to "Be fruitful, and multiply" (Genesis 1:28).
They had hundreds of years to have more children and they speread and they spread out and so forth.
Just because all of their names are not listed does not mean they did not exist. Jesus had brothers and their names weren't listed.

Let's just say the current version of the bible has been edited such that some other books are left out of it.
Truth is, a book is only good so long as the readers agree with it. The bible in this sense has left much to be desired. There are more lose ends in it than a B rated movie. I would blame it on the producer who released it.

The bible dos not mention Adam and Eves female children, Cain's wife was his sister.
And Adam called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. Gen 3:20
And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. Gen 4:17

No where does it say how old Cain and Abel were when this happen so, think, Adam and Eve had other children and they had children, and so on, and so on. No where does is say that Seth was Adam and Eve's third child, he could have been the last, with many brothers and sisters in between.

The Bible doesn't actually say that Cain and Able were Adam and Eve's only children, nor their oldest, they had many more children before Cain and Able came along.

Adam and Eve were the first ones, not the only ones. There were more people than just Adam and Eve.

this is an old question that is always being asked...My response from a pastor was that When God created Adam and Eve he didn't just stop at them..he continued..they were just the first. There were more Adam and Eves....go figure..

For probaly the 30th million time,,,,the Bible never said adam and Eve were the the first people created. Good old church folk say that.
Cain married one of the 6th day creation.
Adam and Eve were FORMED on the 8th day, after God rested on the 7th day.

Adam and Eve had many children, but God only allows us to hear about 3 of them. There are many things that we are not told about, but we have to study. God said if they put everything in the Bible we would never be able to read it all, or carry it all. So He gave us a love letter, and gave us what we need to know.
