Yes! as someone already said it, Adam & Eve, have more decendants, though this may confuce you more because aparently there was none else in the world according to your Q., To my Knowledge Yes there was moreover for quite sometime tribes and what evolution that in the other hand have been actived for quite sometime, because dinosaurs and cave man where also true, and part of the creation that while earth was in the dark was been achieved by the revelion of the Dark angel under Satan's command, that will pocess the earth and God will allow it because Satan is a figure that was emanate by the Matter's and the substances of matter. And bacause God isn't from this World, and matter.s substances and elements, that he will use to create the material existence, where not entirelly HIs, So, he was almost force by principals to allow Satan to practice his onw Godliness, there is why the conditions of the World while The Inhabitant where Gigant(Dinosaurs, and cave peoples, whish in time and true evolution where to become usefull to God, and God will begin to send his troops, paralellel to that time HIM(God), will create Adam & Eve, and will put then in Paradise. So, the First of all Intelligent Being will begin to ocupy the Earth, it will take some Bimillions of years for this to Happen, so the extintion of the evolution of Man, was only the extintion of the nederthal and the non-Intelligent being. Adan & Eve, were the first Intelligent Humans, So, with the help of God, evolution became real. and its to day a reality that Scientist can't yet explain. Thank-you.

I believe the text actually says that Adam and Eve had daughters as well. The creation of Adam in Genesis follows the ancient pattern very close. In ancient genealogies, families traced their ancestry back as far as they could remember, and the described the primordial ancestor as having been born from the earth. This is actually an idiom used to refer to an indigenous people. Phoroneos, for example, was sometimes said to have been born out of the earth in Arcadia. Pelasgos, likewise, was born out of the earth from the teeth of the serpent Ophion. Deucalion, father of the Hellenes, was born out of the earth, as was Cecrops, the first king of Athens. In other ancient accounts, the "first man" was not generally meant to represent the first human being on earth, but the first known ruler of a given geographical region. Pelasgos, for example, actually encountered the descendants Deucalion, who were already present in Thessaly when Pelasgos was born from the earth.

In the Bible, Adam is formed from the earth in a valley in northern Iran, near the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. When they leave Iran, Cain travels east to Nodz, where he founds a city and marries a woman from that region. The "Cherub" guarding the entrance to Eden is probably a reference to the Cherubim, and ancient Iranian tribe who inhabited central Iran, and who drove the descendants of Adam south into Mesopotamia prior to the birth of Noah.

By the way, nobody "stole" any stories from abybody else. The Babylonian account of the flood was considered history in its day, and was adopted (rather than "stolen") by man ancient nations. Adopting an eclectic approach to mythology is a common feature of human beings, and cannot be accurately described as "stealing." The Babylonians, for example, adopted the Hebrew account of Nimrod, just as the Romans incorporated Zeus into Jupiter. Are we "stealing" history from the French when we talk about Charlemagne? Are we "stealing" mythology from the Greeks when we talk about the Oedipus Complex? Of course not.

By the way, I have never heard a more simple and accurate description of this subject than that offered by Fras above...

The person above who tries to connect Adam and Eve to original sin is way off track. Original sin was unheard of among Christians and Jews before the 4th century AD. The story of Adam and Eve is meant to start the history of the Jewish people, which is then continued throughout the Old Testament,

Well if they lived over 100 years and Adam was a red blooded male, I doubt they only had two children unless Eve really lost it badly.

You're alone on a desert Island with one woman, what do you do over 100 years?

They DIDN'T have only 2 kids that were male:

"The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters." -- Genesis 5:4

Adam and Eve had many children, but the Bible don't specifically tell it. Except to say that she is the mother of all humans.

They lived for hundreds of years. Who said they only had 2 kids?

Usually, the female child was not reported or included in any family account in the Bible. For instance, there was no mention of the birth of any daughter to Jacob, but when one was raped, the name was mentioned. Genesis 34.

There is no cover up of any kind in the Bible. Judah had sexual relations with her daughter-in-law, thinking she was a prostitute. Lot's daughters got him drunk and , in turn, went to bed with him.

Hey... the story is just a metaphor that we are all brothers and sisters. It didn´t really happen. Some nice dude or woman wrote it down to make us think that it makes sense to treat each other nicely. Thats all.
