Cain was never in the garden of Eden. Adam and eve were expelled prior to his conception and birth. Cain was cast out from the presence of God. There is no time line given for his expulsion; so, it must be assumed that Adam and Eve had many other children that had been born and grew up and left home before Cain killed his brother. It is generally concluded that Cain married one of his sisters.

You mean Adam, I don't believe Cane, Adam's son, was ever in the garden. As I recally Adam and Eve got cast out an an Angel with a firey sword kept guard to keep them away.
In the Bible it said there were "Sons of God" around and "Gaints" living inside the Earth.
Just out of curiosity, how many Cro Magnons do you think evolved in the same year or same decade. You really think Nature evolved enough of a gene pool of separate and distinct new Cro Mags to make a species without inbreeding.
The scientificly estimated minimum is 20 couples, breeding prodigiously and making sure no family members mated with other blood family members to assure a clean gene pool.
Taking Heisenbergs uncertainity factor into consideration the odds that 20 Cro Mags evolved from different linage in the same general area is not considered good Vegas odds.

Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Their sons, Cain and Abel, were born after. Cain took his sister Awan to be his wife. I don't think Abel had a wife. For several generations, the descendants of Adam married their sisters.
It's in the Book of Jubilees, (Jewish Apocrypha) Chapter 4, verse 9 and on.

Cain was banished from the ground that he defiled with his brother's blood.
Gen 4:12 From now on you will be a homeless fugitive on the earth, constantly wandering from place to place.
Genesis 4:17 says, "Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch." Who was his wife? It is implied in the biblical text that Cain married one of his sisters. Several facts lead us to this conclusion.
First, it is clear that Adam and Eve had a number of children. Genesis 5:4 says, "After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters." Since Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, and since God had commanded them (and their descendants) to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28), it seems reasonable to conclude that Cain married one of his many sisters. It is also possible that he married a niece or even a grandniece.
One must keep in mind that in the early years of the human race there were no genetic defects that had yet developed as a result of the fall of man. By the time of Abraham, God had not yet declared this kind of marriage to be contrary to His will (see Genesis 20:12). Laws governing incest apparently did not become enacted until the time of Moses (Lev 18:7-17; 20:11,12,14,17,20,21). Hence, there was no prohibition regarding marrying a sister (or niece or grandniece) in the days of Cain.

cane wasn't kicked out of the garden of Eden Adam and Eve had already been kicked out by the time he was born. tell your pastor to read his Bible.
As regards to the other people he found when he was sent away from his parents they would have also been Adam and Eve's other children (they had many) and their children as they all inter-married because of a larger gene pool.

What says he was ever IN the garden? It seems likely that he was born after the fall.
How many children were born to Eve BEFORE THE FALL? (They WERE COMMANDED to "be fruitful and multiply.")
People... Since the name/word is NOT English and its origin is not written with the same alphabet, Qayin is about as close as our alphabet can get (a transliteration of the Hebrew). It is NOT a big deal how it is spelled.

You're greatly confused. It was Cain's (not Cane's) father, Adam, who was expelled from the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve begat children that eventually populated the earth through intermarriage. Incest in the beginning was not sinful, but expected to take place for the propagation of the human race.
If your pastor says it was Cain that was expelled from the Garden of Eden you need to change pastors.
Cain took to wife a daughter from one of his brothers. In other words, Cain married a niece of his.

its possible that Cain was kicked out long after they already had families. If it was 100 years after Cain was born that would mean there would have been alot of people by then. Adam and Eve could have had more children, Abel and his wife could have had more children, Cain and his wife could have had more children. In 100 years, there could have been at least 150 people by then. Also consider that their goals were to eat and multiply.

The Bible does not mention all of the children that Adam and Eve had. Read Genesis 5:4.
