It's called incest.
OR
No where in the bible does it say that Adam & Eve were the only people created by God. Only that they were the first. There may have been a hundred people living in the Garden of Eden.
Doesn't really matter--it's all fiction anyway.

One can actually answer this question with just a little Bible knowledge. Genesis 5:4 tells us that Adam and Eve 'begat sons and daughters.' Josephus, the Jewish historian, states that 'The number of Adam's children, as says the old tradition, was thirty-three sons and twenty-three daughters.' The point, of course, is that Adam and Eve did have many children.
Therefore, brothers must have married sisters at the beginning. Remember that the law against close intermarriage was not given until the time of Moses - e.g., 'none of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him' (Leviticus 18:6). There was nothing wrong with brother and sister marriages, originally. If you think about it, that is the only way to populate the world, starting with only one pair. Notice that Abraham married his half sister with no condemnation from God, even though this was later forbidden.

After the fall from the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were no longer the only two humans. They fell from grace as a result of their Original Sin of disobeying God by eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. God resettled them east of Eden where they had Abel, Cain and later Seth. We all know what happens and then Cain settles with his wife in the land of Nod, where they have a son named Enoch. The scriptures state that they found or took wives in this new region. We can surmise that God had created other people by this time (ilke with the animals) to keep Adam and Eve company.

I though adam and eve messed up and they were sent out of the garden of eden to live on earth with the creatures. Which couldn't the scientific theroy then also be true. Maybe we didn't ALL come from Adam and Eve...maybe some of us did and some came from the ground...(like they try not to teach.) Maybe both are true...because where then did Cain and Abel's wives come from?

I'd like to know the same thing. If god made Adam and Eve and they were the first two humans on earth, then how the hell did Jesus and all his disciples and all the other people that live in that 'era' get there? Who had them? And if that is true, how did race come into it and wouldn't that mean we are all related somehow?

Because they didn't only have sons. Those two sons were the ones talked about in the Bible, but they weren't the only children that they had. They also had daughters and probably more sons. The Bible doesn't talk about every single person in biblical times.

Well Cain killed Able- and then Cain got busy with Eve, and then his Nephews/nieces got busy with each other
This makes us one big happy inbred family.

You are right. How is that possible? Unless Eve reproduced with her sons and her sons reproduced with their daughters and so on.

actually just because adam and eve were the first people doesn't mean they were the only ones made by god, just the first of many (side note, eve was the second woman, there was lilith before her)
