feather: Not likely; since the gene pool for all the races was designated to both of our Great-Great Grandparents (to the nth power) namely, Adam and Eve, these were the only two individuals within the confides of the Garden of Eden, which incidently, was located on the side of a mountain and not on a flat plain. Adam and Eve represented the first humans to exercise free choice and unfortunately, made the incorrect one. (Of course, God foreknew that they would "blow it" because He pitted Satan, a fallen arch-angel against them.) This was done purposely, to start the ball rolling within God's plan for mankind ! Adam and Eve were booted out of the Garden to prevent either, from attaining to eternal life, ( to live forever as Adam and Eve) in their state of rebellion against God.

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.

God put Adam and Eve out of the Garden after they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and bad.
Read this account in Geneses 3:24
24Â And so he drove the man out and posted at the east of the garden of E′den the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way to the tree of life.
As for as more people being made after Adam and Eve were kicked out of the garden.
Read this account in Geneses 4:1-3
Where Adam had intercourse with Eve his wife and she became pregnant.

Easily understood story for the people of the times. A universal man, a universal women as the story says who with the co-operation of God begun the human race. Just too bad the story does not mention the name of the first daughter.! Good story. How about it also being a story of good and evil, not just creation.

God created Adam from soil and then created Eve from the ribbon bone of Adam.They lived in heaven .God warned them do not touch a tree and do not take its fruit.But satan tempted them for taking it so Allah dropped them to this earth because they had sins..Adam dropped in India and Eve at Jedda in Saudi Arabia They met in Rahmah hill at Arafaa in Saudi Arabia too. They had many children black,white and light chocolate or dark brown..The children got married in cross among brothers and sisters and they had many children too.God created more people in this earth for making a prosperous society.

Well, it said something about how no man shall ever set foot in Eden after Adam and Eve, so I would have to say this one's airtight. No one else in the garden.

Yes God could have made more people after Adam and Eve.. He has no limits to what he can do.

No.Because after they sinned they were thrown out of the garden of Eden and Jehovah stationed two cherubs with a blazing rotating sword outside the entrance so that they could not get back in.

The only talk in the Bible is about the "Sons of God" and "Giants living in the Earth."
Everything else is conjecture.
But, logically, if God was disguested with Man why did he then create more to populate the Earth with more disguting sinners.
If God wanted to create again, why didn't he create Jim and Sue and put them in Eden and try a second time.

People who say that are trying to rationalize the bible, which is a hopeless endeavor. You can rationalize (and change meanings) all you want to the Adam and Eve story, but then you get to Noah and there is just nothing you can do to make that make sense.
