If you read far enough you will discover
that adam and eve later had other children...who became a people through incest.incest was possible at that age without major repercusions because the virility of the gene pool was very strong being very close from the original mother and father.so basically cain married his sister or distant cousin.

ALAFU CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME:
According to Biblical scholars, the Garden of Eden story was about 6000 years ago.
But we have human fossils being dug out that are as old as 2.8 million years old.
The big bang happened 13.7 billion years ago.
Homo Sapiens evolved anatomically into the present day man some 200,000 years ago.
But the bible version of the history of creation only goes back a few thousands of years.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THIS!!!!!
When akina Leakey & co. go to Turkana and dig up our ancestors' bones that are millions of years old, how do we reconcile that to the Garden of Eden timeline?

You have it backwards. Repercussions occur precisely because reproducing within the same gene pool.
But even if you believe there were people other than adam and eve that the bible doesnt mention, when noah come's around we are told the entire earth was drowned. So the next lot of guys were the result of inbreeding between a couple of brothers and sisters.

"not only is science corrosive to religion; religion is corrosive to science. It teaches people to be satisfied with trivial, supernatural non-explanations and blinds them to the wonderful real explanations that we have within our grasp. It teaches them to accept authority, revelation and faith instead of always insisting on evidence." Richard Dawkins.
