I read and believe God created Adam first and used some of his ribs to create Eve, but a question was possed to me recently and I could not answer it.
When Adam and Eve was chased out of the garden of Eden, they had Cain and Abel (with some other kids I believe) but what I dont understand is if we all came into being as a result of incest on the part of Adam and Eve offspring or were there others apart from Adam and Eve or did God create A-D-M instead of A-D-A-M as we beleive?

God created Adam and Eve. If you read the quote from Gen 5:4 below, you see that they have both sons and daughters.
God gave Adam and Eve the commandment, Genesis 1:27-28, "in God's image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: "Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth"
There was nobody else; so, they were meant at first to marry their brothers and sisters.
Remember mankind was perfect at first, thus the problem of inbreeding didn't exist. Only later on, laws forbidding marriage between close relations came into being.
Thus they didn't commit incest since there was no law against it--neither did the concept exist.

This is so sad that people are taught this.That is why you should "Study to show thyself approved".Please read Genisis 1:27.This is where God created all the races.(Where do you think the different races came from?).Now,Look at chapter 2:5.What does it say?God needed someone to tendthe garden,thus,he made Adam.
