Here it goes:
If Adam and Eve were the only humans living on earth, and they gave birth to Abel and Kane. Thereafter Abel killed Kane. And then it says that he made love to his whife... Who is his whife?? unless he had sex with his mother i dont see who he had his children with please andwer me if u have the answer
the snake maybe
Worst answer EVER
Well there are several takes on this by theologians. I can think of two at the moment:
1) Adam and Eve had many children after Cain and Abel who had long moved out and formed their own communities, it was only Adam and Eve along with their two first born who were allowed to remain in Eden. When Cain was expelled from Eden it was one of his sisters (or perhaps nieces) whom he married.
2) It is contended by some theologians and linguistic experts that the bible never intended to be interpreted as saying that Adam and Eve were the first man and woman. To the contrary it was meant (and the linguistic experts ascertain this is clear in the original greek texts) that Adam and Eve were the first of god's "chosen people." And that the world was not described as "lifeless" prior to their and Eden's creation, but actually as "full of sin." They claim that it was commonly accepted fact in Christianity up until the 900s or so that Adam and Eve were simply the first of god's chosen "tribe" certainly not the first people *ever.*
They further make the argument that it was the Catholic church, modifying the bible for easy consumption by the "ignorant masses" that simply said "Adam and Eve were the first man and the first woman."
I do not have a working knowledge of ancient Greek and have not studied this argument and its counter arguments, but argument number 2 makes the most sense to me personally.

that was a very unneccesary answer (has no clue how necessary spells)
and so was that (and this)
Next, on to Topicality . . .

Surely the answer is that the whole story is mythological nonsense?
Or would you rather have the snake thing?
