Even if you don't know the answer for this, try to say something or the other you know. Its really breaking my head. Well, here's the question:
How did Adam and eve multiply? Did each of their son and daughter married each other to multiply? Pls dont consider this non-sense. After all, the holy book bible says Adam and Eve are the first ever people on earth.

We were all given some fairy tale as kids and it worked now we exactly know what adults do behind doors, to make things worst, we really dont need explainations now to know what happened, Poor eve she had no altrenatives but to go along, i wonder why god changes rules, is he learning from his mistakes???
The proper answer is we are just species on earth and the human species just multiply sexually, that the only answer that makes sence to the species that live on earth now, and the theory of evolution fits perfectly, there was no adam or eve this is all made up for the imature man.

As someone once said, "there wasn't any one around to say it was wrong".
Adam and Eve were married, and they had many children, as the Bible says, they were monogomous, (they didn't marry any of their children to themselves), their children married each other, and had children.
Those children could marry cousins, instead of brothers and sisters, this continued.
Now, the thing to recocnize is that they lived for MANY HUNDREDS of years, because of the way the earth was, there wasn't disease ECT.
Look in your Bible, it lists ages.
Now, once we get to NOAH, the earth is completely corrupt, and NOAH is the only one perfect in his generations, so from that, his three sons and their wives (one each) and all the animals listed, are brought on the arc, and (none of the sons have kids until after the flood).
After the flood, the sons get busy with their wives and have kids, they marry cousins or brothers and sisters, most likely cousins.
Those cousins marry other cousins, and second cousins, and the people stilll live a long time.
This continues, and you can see how in one or two generations we would be marrying complete strangers. (over dramitization but still, it would be fast)
It shows in the Bible, that Adam and Eve had many children, and if the Bible is true, then they were the only people around, and their children would be the only people around and have to marry each other.
God took care of it.

Easy. In order to allow humans to multiply fast, there was no ban on marrying the daughter of the same parents. Every time a boy and a girl were born and the boy could marry the
sister which was not born as his twin.
After some times a restriction was placed and they could marry only their cousins.

It might be tough for you but not the toughest for others.
Even the DNA map says that we all probably originated from a single person somewhere in Africa.
I don;t believe in stories.
You can not apply todays morality to past or future.
We really don't know the origin of life as a scientific knowledge. We all guess or blindly believe some assumption.

The genes were perfect those days., So may be Cain could have married one of his sisters. Still in some community they marry their uncle s daughter., that is father s youngher brother s daughter. There was no rain in those times and also no ultra violet rays and all.There was only mist came up in the earth . People know about the rain only after Nova s time. That was the reason they did not believe in rain. After that time only, the sky was torn and the rain came. And also after those times only men s life was shorter than of the period before. So after that only God made many rules .

The Bible, like a lot of ancient sacred texts contains both teh metaphorical and the literal. I think teh Adam and Eve story was a metaphor and must not be taken literally.

Yes, Adam and Eve's sons and daughters married one another. God had not forbade incest at that time. Even as late as Abraham, God never faulted him for marrying his sister. It wasn't until about 500 years after Abraham -- at the time God gave his law to the Israelites coming out of Egypt -- that God forbade incest, defining it precisely (Leviticus 18:6-16).

Adam and Eve had a lot of children...they intermarried. Pretty much happened again with Noah and his family as well. People lived a long time and had lots of children...it worked.

Well is it seems too far fetched you you. I suggest you read, Darwin's Theory, and than it might help to make up your mind.
Please don't say your religion don't allow this, Religion and Science go hand in hand, both trying to proof the other WRONG. Here is the thing, They will spend and eternity at this fruitless game, and still not have a concrete proof, unless GOD decides to visit us.

I don't believe in Adam and Eve theory. I don't believe in the theory of evolution by Charles Darvin either.
I know for sure, that we are eternally present in some shape or the other. This theory is reasonable, sensible and plausible.
Do away with your confusions. Understand the 'Truth'.
