Genesis 5:4: "And the days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters. 5 So all the days of Adam that he lived amounted to nine hundred and thirty years and he died.

The Bible does not give an exact number, but he lived a very long time, so there is all probability that he fathered many.

Only 3: Cain was the first one, and, according to the Bible he was different because in Genesis Eve says, after giving birth to Cain 'I've gotten a man from the Lord'; the Mark that God later on put on him was actually, according to the Midrash tradition, a cross within a circle, what Hebrews called MALKHUT= Kingdom, stemming from the Accadian word MALKU= Sovereign, therefore Cain was a king, the first of a lineage. Their second son was Abel, and their third and last one was Seth.

How many kids did they have?
Don't know. Didn't even know they were goat-herders.
If they had a herd of goats, then probably quote a few kids.

If you are asking how many CHILDREN they had ... well, as the Book of Genesis says: Cain, Abel, Seth (names are told) and then it also says that Adam had "sons and daughters".

Flavius Josephus (the Jewish Historian), from Jewish traditions and records, says Adam and Eve had 33 sons and 23 daughters.

Adam and Eve lived over 900 years... you can have a lot of kids in 900 years... probably in the thousands but the Bible doesn't say for sure

Sorry God didn't count them for us. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Merry Christmas XX Merry.

P.S. Whoa, if they only lived 900 years and had a kid a year they would only have 900 not thousands. Of course in those days they may have had kids like puppy's who knows Christians believe the bible says what they believe.
Yes they committed incest but God didn't forbid incest until Moses led the children out of Egypt.
Even with evolution incest had to have been committed. I imagine quite a bit of incest was going on back then lol.

The Bible’s silence as to the names of Adam’s daughters presents no difficulty, since the birth of daughters was rarely mentioned and they were only occasionally named in the genealogical lists. But the Bible does actually tell us, in its summary of Adam’s life, that “he became father to sons and daughters.”—Gen. 5:4, 5.

So far, there are about 6 billion people in the world, and another estimated 4.5 billion who have already come and gone on earth. So considering we're all inbred from them, they had about 10.5 billion kids. Boy, religion ALWAYS makes sense doesn't it?

MANKIND ADAM
……………………….
Most have read when Cain talked with Abel and in the field killed him.
Gen.4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
God then cursed and drove Cain out, and Cain said.
Gen.4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
WHO IS CAIN WORRIED ABOUT?
Gen.4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
WHERE DID CAIN FIND A WIFE?
The answer is in the Hebrew text of (Gen.1:26 and Gen.2:7).
……………………….
MANKIND
Gen.1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
The word “man” (Gen.1:26) in the Hebrew text looks like this ( אדם ), with no article means “MANKIND”, transliterated is (adam).
……………………….
ADAM
Gen.2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The word “man” (Gen.2:7) in the Hebrew text looks like this ( את־האדם ), with article and particle means “THIS SAME MAN ADAM”, transliterated is (eth-Ha adham).
……………………….
On the sixth day God created or made MANKIND.
……………………….
On the eighth day God formed THIS SAME MAN ADAM.
