i couldn't help but wonder since Adam and Eve is the first 2 human beings on this planet and is responsible for populating a legacy of the world. okay, they have 2 sons, both Abel and Cain. now, that makes 4 of them ONLY on the planet. where do Abel and Cain find wives to have kids for the next generation???

Discussing topic like this take away from real issues in the world. The bible is cluttered with incomplete information but Christian insist it is complete in information and has total continuity. Nothing can be further from the truth.
I much rather talk about how we can get our government to get rid the National Security Act from 1947. This is more relevant to what is affecting our world today. I would respect Christians a lot more if they would band together and take care is issue like this that affects of all.

Cain killed Abel, so he stayed single a long time until Eve had daughters. The gene pool was pure and if brothers and sisters mated there were no birth defects in the beginning.
One scenario and another is fallen angels had sex with Adam's daughters and granddaughters and Cain picked a very young wife or half sister. Before the flood they lived 900 years which is plenty of time to marry. Cain could have been 500 years old before he married. The Bible mentions giants in the land so these must have been fallen angels and Adam's daughters having children which produced a different breed of person.

Genesis ch. 5 says Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters.The only reason that Cain and Abel are mentioned is because there was a lesson to learn.Actually people married their sisters and 1/2 sisters and cousins all the way up until God stopped it with Moses.Even Abraham married Sarah his 1/2 sister.

Yes, Cain married in the family. She could have been is whole sister, or one of Adam and Eve's grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. Cain could father allot of children, living quite old.
The people then lived old and were close to perfection, (unlike us), with strong bodies, so likely there were no genetic problems.
1Timothy 2:13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
Genesis 3:20 After this Adam called his wife's name Eve, because she had to become the mother of everyone living.
Acts 17:26 And he made out of one man every nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth,...
It is becoming apparent that Adam and Eve were not the first humans on this planet. It appears to be true that there was a previous Paradise, that got corrupted because of Lucifer/Satan turning bad, and was flooded in judgment. Genesis 1:2, Matthew 19:28 speaks of the re-creation. God said "I BOTH sanctified my name and will again." John 12:28.
2Peter 2:5 speaks of Noah's flood, while 2Peter 3:4,5 speak of the Lucifer flood with no survivors in the flood, and the heavens meaning governments, were flooded. There were no heavens flooded in Noah's day. It is possible that this first earthly garden of Eden, is the souce of the lost continent theory.
Ezekiel 28:12-16; Isaiah 14:12-20;
God has given his rainbow to remind him of the promise to 'not destroy the earth again with a flood.' The next time he destroys the ungodly will be with the elements, including fire.

The Bible says that Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters. Abel was murdered by Cain before he could take a wife. Cain obviously married either one of his sisters or a niece by one of Adam's other children. We do not know how long Eve lived, but Adam lived over 900 years---that's a lot of begetting. There was a lot of intermarrying in the beginning. God allowed this. Today, it still goes on, although it is illegal in almost every society.

start looking for the lost books of the bible. in one of them it explains that eve was not the first woman and that adam's first wife did not listen to him so when God saw that he was unhappy he made eve from adam and sent wife #1 out into the wilderness.the first woman was created just like adam from the ground and God breathed life into her and she did not want to be submissive to him as the old law said. and when she didn't want to live that way God wanted them both to be happy and sent her away. but she got punished for disobeying Him anyway. and so began evel. i know that it's far fetched especially when you get told that the bible is the end all to everything but there are a lot more sources of info that didn't get picked threw that explains so much more about what happened and where all the people came from. adam and his first wife had only sinned once so there was plenty of children that left with her before she got booted and so the story goes. good luck with this search

Ok. Well if you are a believer. then in G1 v 26. Godis calling on whoever. And says Lets make man in OUR OWN IMAGE! Our: Meaning more then one,person or thing. Group of more then one.
So we Have not only God, but whoever else is with God. And each one is seperate, from God. So they make man in their own image. Not Gods ,but THEIRS!
And God blesses them and says, to fruitful, and multiply the earth. As to re- fill it
So i believe, that how come there are so many differant races. Now if one was to believe.this, to be true or not.!
Its up to the other person.
Then Adam who God creates in G2 ch2 v15(dependiong on the bible.) Adams race, would be totally seperate, from the others who were created ,back in G1.
So now, we have a totally differant race from anyone. Because as it says in G2 ch2 v15-17. God seperates Adam, and put hin directly in the garden.
Now since it is unknown to man, what race Adam, was.
It would be hard to trace his line. And his race.
So your guess is good as mine. So yes , i beleive there are2 different things going on at the same time.
So during all this other life forms Humans, are begining to emerge.
Now if we jump foward to Cain & Able.
It says Adam only had to sons. OK. Now consider G1&G2.
We already have other humans on earth at this time. Adam may have at this time made contact with others outside of the garden. By them coming to the garden to get fruit,
Most likely as well as C&A. Because Cain acknowledged it by saying : "He wil be a fugitive, and that everyone, who should find him, will want to slay him" So God put a mark upon Cains head..
So C slains A. So then God puts a curse on C. And sends him to another land. And there you go. Cain enters the land of Nod. And thats where Cain met his wife. Does it make sense to you?

Weeeell. Abel was killed. Cain married either his sister or his niece. Adam and Eve had many other sons and daughters. The gene pool was larger then, so that's why we aren't all messed up from inbreeding...hey, wait a second!

Cain went to Nod where he found a wife. this scripture is recorded prior to any passages about other children born to Adam and Eve.
Genesis disproves Genesis.

You are in error. Adam was formed on the 8th day along with Eve, however on the 6th day all of the races were created. There were thousands of people on the earth. When Cain was thrown out of the Garden, and went and took a wife, where the heck do ya think he found one? At the City of Nod, one of those cities that were of the 6th day creation.
We are not all decended from Adam and Eve.
