Im an agnostice and dont really care to read the bible, but curious still about what and why people believe. Did God just start randomly making people, or did Adam and Eves kids have kids, and so forth?

it doesn't... it's been proven that the diverse gene pool of all humans has to come from more than just two people...

I'm a christian but to be honest, i'm not really keen onto the old testament. It is said to be a parable, just another lesson to explain things by breaking them down into simple understandings. However i must admit. I find the whole testament confusing. Theorestically the story goes that adam and eve had children, who continues havimg children of ther own and so forth. Trouble is, that both adam and eve's children were actually sons, so in my case, my belief in the adam eve story stops just about there. Why was it invented one might ask? Well, i have no idea. I think it was actually written so as to explain or give an explanation to the people bc of how man was created, or came into being. It is obviously not true. What I do believe then is the New testament. Thats when Christ came along.

God created Adam and Adam was lonely so God took a rib from Adam and created Eve. When Adam and Eve sinned they had children and it went on from there. Maybe you should read the Bible so you don't have to sure for answers over the internet.

It's all "allegory" in both "covenants": Galatians 4, not to be taken literal; And it's "mystery": noted over 20 times in the NT. So it's allegoric mystery to solve, kinda like a matrix or a hollow deck program which the Bible simply calls a "shew" written for our learning, kinda like a spiritual training course for spirits. So just because the Bible is allegory and mystery doesn't invalidate it as being useful for y(our) learning. Behold, I shew you a mystery.
When taken as allegoric and mystery, not literal, then it becomes challenging fun to seek and find all the clues to solve the allegoric mystery, and escape wrath to come, by find grace, to help in time... since there's neither mystery nor time in eternity.
What you can learn from comparative teaching is:
what is love, compared to what it's not: fear,
what is truth, compared to what it's not: lie
what is grace, compared to what it's not: law,
what is mercy, compared to what it's not: sacrifice,
what is peace, compared to what it's not: division
What is Adam & Eve compared to Christ & the Church?
What is a dead end compared to a living end also written:
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

God made Adam, then made Eve from Adam. Adam and Eve had kids, and here we are about 7,000 years later.

You should read the Bible (maybe starting with one chapter a day). It is deep, insightful and full of principles we can follow. It also has stories of faithful people who had continued to serve God under persecution and it tells how humankind came about.

God made adam and eve and they were perfect in body.....they sinned by disobeying.....God threw them out of the garden of eden...........they had children............their children married each other............and on and on and here we are
After a while there were so many people on the earth and they were growing less and less perfect that birth defects might have happened..God made laws forbidding close relative marriages

It had to start somewhere with some intelligent being giving birth to another intelligent being, a primordial ooze did not have
a fling and poof a man was born. How we got to that initial intelligent being nobody knows absolutely but their names where
Adam and Eve and yes they had more kids than bunnies.

Just read the first few chapters of the bible, it wouldn't take as long as it will to read all the answers you are going to get here and you will know as much as we do.

Well technically we are all children of God... but its all just a cover up because we really come from a chimp family that split million of years ago.

Yes, they had kids and so forth. Why do you care about that if you're an agnostic, if I were you, I wouldn't even think about that.
