I was wondering about about Adam and Eve. If they had two kids; a boy and girl, how could they make more kids and more generations? Would a brother and sister have to make kids? I mean, let's say Adam and Eve had two kids, Lucy and Bob. How would they make another generation without more people? Wouldn't Lucy and Bob have to have kids? Or did God make new people pop up out of nowhere?
Or is it a metaphor? Is God actually telling us the whole world was made by two people or is it just trying to show you how crappy the human race is with their sinning? My point is, is that scripture for showing the world about sinning or is it for showing the world how it was made?

ok so if the kids needed more children and they were both boys then they'd be gay... and unfortunetly(<--no spell check) everyone says that's against the religion. I'm so confused!

Yes... it would've had to be incest.

scientists probed for genetic differences in the Y chromosome of 38 men of different ethnic groups living in different parts of the world. To their amazement, Dorit and his team found no nucleotide differences at all in the nonrecombinant part of the Y chromosomes. This lack of deviation verified that no evolution has occurred in the male ancestry of humans. Stunned by these unexpected results, Dorit and his associates did a statistical analysis to determine whether the 38 men sampled somehow inaccurately represented the male population of the earth. They were forced to conclude that man’s forefather was a single individual—not a group of hominids.
Another study was conducted on the mitochondrial DNA, which is only passed in the female line from mother to daughter. The conclusion of this study was that all contemporary humans are descendants of one woman (whom ironically they call “Eve”), living less than 200,000 years ago. This study observed a very slight variation on the sampling of women, in contrast to no variation on the men. The study on women may indicate the possibility of slight micro-evolution. Therefore, the male study harmonizes with the Genesis account of creation. Males have a singular origin—Father Adam—whereas this is not true of women. Eve was created from Adam, which accounts for the slight variation in the mitochondrial DNA of women.

It is implied in the bible that other people existed. If you read Genesis 4:13-15 then you will see that after Cain was sent away, he went off to the land of Nod where he met his wife.
No mention is made as to how these people came about and there is no implication that Adam and Eve "begat" them.

Adam and Eve had other children. At that time the genes were still relatively "pure", so marrying in ones family wasn't a problem.

Jesus was a Creationist;...and believed Genesis was literal,...
"From the beginning of the Creation God made them male and female..."-- Jesus (Mk. 10:6

If they had, it would cause inbreeding. This almost always leads to various genetic problems. This used to be common in royal families that restricted themselves on who they could marry.
