Cain and Abel were the two sons. Adam lived to be 930 years old, so you can just assume that with the sons he and Eve also had daughters, but they weren't considered important in Biblical times so they are not mentioned. Yes there was plenty of incest going on in that family between brothers and sisters but the human race had to start somewhere.

Adam was the first man to be created; Eve was the first woman (Genesis chapters 1 & 2). Their first two sons were Cain and Abel (Genesis chapter 4). They also had another son named Seth after Abel died (Genesis 4:25; 5:3). They also had many other sons and daughters in their lifetime after this (Genesis 5:4), although we weren't told the exact number. This seems to make sense since Adam lived for 930 years before he died (Genesis 5:5), which probably means lots of children in his lifetime :) I hope this helps.

The Bible does not give us a specific number. Adam and Eve had Cain (Genesis 4:1), Abel (Genesis 4:2), Seth (Genesis 4:25), and many other sons and daughters (Genesis 5:4). With likely hundreds of years of child-bearing capability, Adam and Eve likely had 50+ children in their lifetime.
It's incest anyway.

Adam and Eve had two sons but scripture does not say they had no more children. They obviously had daughters afterward. There were other people living later on when Cain killed his brother Abel and the Lord punished Cain:
Genesis 4 (NIV):
14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." 15 But the LORD said to him, "Not so [a] ; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.

If the 1st 2 human beings have been the two male, it could make the bible much greater absurd. God did no longer write the bible, adult adult males wrote the bible, and it substitute into all politically superb for the day. With Adam and Eve we are all a team or inbreds because it particularly is, yet with Adam and Steve, umm yeah, until Steve had a womb, which negates the gay rights activists element.

Based on our religion class
God did not LITERALLY made only two people
It's just a symbolism that God created two sexes (male and female)
Same as the object of temptation
The serpent is a symbol and the tree of knowledge is too
The apple isn't really the fruit (NO fruit is specified in the story)
They just used the apple to fit the description of "Unable to resist"
Genesis is a symbolic story of how God created the world, therefore, we should not take this story too literally
Hope I helped

According to a theological study, the whole old testament was based on myth. So it doesn't nessesarily happen as it was told. It's a legend, or stories like Santaclaus and delivering present for children around the world in one night.
What you read isn't what you get.

Look read the book carefully... It says that Adam and Eve were the first, it doesn't say the only...
You can find plenty of references to other people when Adam and Eve were around.
