The whole thing is a bit incestuous isn't it?
The ancient Greeks had a tale about a 'first couple'. It is very similar to the story of Adam and Eve, except people were created out of stone.
Because that is entirely plausible...

The Bible clearly says there were other children. There were no rules about marrying kin at that time. You should be able to work out your self how quickly it would take to populate an area. In fact it would be quick. Perhaps creationists would re think if we had some intermediate species.

It wasn't unlikely that a man took his sister for a wife in those days, as much later, Sarah was Abraham's half sister. But Genesis mentions no sisters to Cain and Abel, and those two were supposedly the only offspring to Adam and Eve: "the parents of mankind".
It is therefore safe to assume that they were supposed to be the first of God's intent of a 'perfect creation' (within the "garden of Eden"), but by falling from grace, they were driven out of it (Gen. 3:24), even before Cain killed his brother and was expelled to the "East of Eden", where a human race, already marred with imperfection and sin apparently existed, and out of which Cain most reasonably selected a spouse.
Otherwise, who did Cain marry, and who was the lady that mothered Cain's children, even before Eve again begot Seth? And what can one make out of Genesis 6:4? Can one assume that the line of Adam was what this verse labels as "the sons of God", and the women taken by those sons: Cain and Seth, "the daughters of men"?

Adam and Eve had more children after Able was killed and Cain was banished.

they had more than 2 children. and either way that you look at it it means that if this theory is true that we should all have 15 toes and a misplaced organ or 2 by now.
however if i remember right Genisis states the god made man..and then later describes the making of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden.
this could be interprited as god made many forms of man, and then put theend result in the paradise...that would explain the othe species of human skelitons that we keep finding.
of course i am Pagan and follow a differant story all together.

There were supposedly other children (including, of course, daughters -- incest!). But the story is fiction.
