After God created Adam and Eve, did he create more people that we descended from or did we inbred from them?

You forgot Lilith, who was made at the same time as Adam, as his equal.\n\nInbreeding's irrelevant, I'm afraid. And Christians say no incest. Tsk tsk tsk.

Adam and Eve were the first people God created to be holy and to have fellowship with Him. Whether they were the first people or not I don't know. I wasn't there.

Well, Adam lived to be 930 yrs old and Eve lived almost a long.  It was only later that God reduced the amount of years a man could love.  During this time they had many many sons and daughters.  And these sons and daughters married and reproduced as well.  I know what you're thinking; incest.  When God gave Moses the law He stopped immediate family members from marrying.  So, 930 years one can make a lot of babies.

If you believe the Old Testament, Adam was created in God's image by God. No one gave birth to him. That explanation works for fundamentalist Jews, Christians and Muslims. The Buddhists and Hindus must have an explanation too, but I don't know what it is.\n\nIf you believe evolution, which 99% of all biologists believe, an almost-human gave birth to the first human.\n\nTake your pick.

I dont see why someone cant believe in both perhaps there were people walking the earth before "God" created "adam and eve" we finally evolved to a stage where he could step in and say this is wrong this is right. We know from DNA there was more then one male some men dont have the dna that leads back to one male human. Woohoo discovery channel.

Adam and Eve weren't the first people on Earth, this is a mis-conception that churches teach in Sunday School. There were people here before them but what was special about Adam and Eve is that they were the first people with souls. Look at Gen 1:28 it says replenish the Earth. It did not say fill but replenish. To replenish something it already had to be there. Also consider Cain getting thrown out, Cain was afraid of the other people slaying him so there obviously were other people out there just no one wants to talk about them.

Look at Genesis again.\n\nGod created this planet and its species, including homo sapiens, over 5 time periods. All “creatures” were created “AFTER ITS KIND” and able to “multiply” (procreate). \n\nThen in the sixth time period Adam was created “AFTER OUR IMAGE”! Adam was created BY HIMSELF! He was given “God’s spirit”. Gen. 2:7-9, 16&17. HE was created to live indefinitely within his special environment, the Garden of Eden. That’s why it was fatal for him to eat from the “tree of knowledge of good and evil”. Gen. 2:17. \n\nEve was an afterthought so Adam would not be all by himself. Gen. 2:21,22\n\nMeant to live indefinitely Adam and Eve did NOT NEED to procreate! They had no sense or ambition of sexuality. Gen. 2:25. They were not ashamed – innocent.\n\nGod gave them the power of choice, to obey his instructions or not.\n\nAfter eating the forbidden fruit – also known as the “original sin” - they were sexually “activated” (Gen. 3:7-11 & 16) (they were ashamed!)  and God had to change His plans for them. So Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden in order to KEEP THEM AWAY from the “tree of life” which could have sustained their life (and that of now possible offsprings) indefinitely - Gen. 3:22-24. \n\nThey were now condemned to live their life in the outside world and procreate like the “creatures” (Neanderthals & Co.) created before them. (Gen. 3:16) They now also were destined to die like them.\n\nHowever, they (the dscendents of Adam) lived much longer due to their speciel origin and the climate before the flood. The oldest ever, Methusalah, died in (the year of) the flood! Then the livespan decreased sharply.

God created Adam and Eve so he was their father (and ours) so it must have been: Adam God and Eve God.

Actually, you are incorrect that Adam and Eve only had two kids. We know the names of three of them (Cain, Abel, and Seth) but there were more. And yes, there were relationships between siblings, hence, wives for Cain and Seth. (Abel died single.) You will find familial intermarrying throughout much of Genesis because (as you point out) there wasn't anyone else. Consider also after the flood that familial intermarrying would have been the only option.

God created Adam and Eve with all the genetic information of the entire human race. The Bible very plainly states that "Eve is the mother of all living" (Genesis 3:20)\nIn Genesis chapter 11 (after the flood), is chronicled the division of nations. God divided the people of the earth into family groups by giving them different languages, as they separated, they would have been narrowing the genetics down through inbreeding (incest was not wrong then). As the families began to intermix less and less, dominant genes would produce the various 'races' within a few generations. about 700 years after this, God gave the Law to Moses, and began to prohibit marriage between close relatives. \nThere are many different skin colors, amounts of body hair, types of features, etc. but there is only one "race" - the human race! We are all descended in direct line from Adam and Eve, and then, from Noah and his three sons (and their wives).\nI have had a lot of experience with breeding programs (mostly cows and horses, but some dogs too), and even within a few generations of selective breeding, an entirely new breed of animal can be obtained.\nThat's basically what happened at the tower of Babel - and the different "breeds" of human today, are simply the natural result of dominant genes being bred back to dominant genes over the past 4400+/- years.

Adam and Eve were obsolutly not the first people on the earth!\n\n Any Bible scholar with half a brain would be able to decipher that GODS WORD ( bible ) alone makes that claim!\n\nAnyone who makes the claim that all people come from Adam and Eve are simply dispelling Judaisms greatest hoax upon the body of Christ!\n\nIt is true that God stated that HE made Adam and Eve in His "own likeness" and  That He created them "for His own purpose." Remember that as we go along!\n\nWe all know the story of Adam and Eve and the alleged apple incident . Which ,, BTW is nothing more than a Judaeo incert into our bibles. There is no such thing as an apple leading any of GODS people astray. In the garden we see that GOD upon calling Adam and Eve HE noticed that they were aware of their nakedness. God asked them  how they knew and Adam right away blamed it on Eve . Eve in turn stated that the "SERPENT HAD BEGUILD ME." The word " beguiled" means to SEDUCE and the intention here is meant to be seduced sexually.\n\nWas ADAM really blaming EVE? Obsulutely not! the fact that Eve first had sex with the serpent ( satan) was the great sin. Upon knowing of this great thing called sex Eve then consumated with ADAM and ADAM hade thought that he had sinned.\n\n     Not so, for GOD after creating Adam and Eve had told them they may partake of any fruit in the garden ( which there were only ADAM and Eve) but they are not to partake of the evil fruit of knowledge . God refers to all things as Fruit, Be fruitfull and multiply, thy fruit of thy womb, thy fruit of thy loins ect, ect. The evil fruit whom had all knowledge was in fact Satan and it was satan that had "beguild" or suduced Eve. Then eve seduced Adam which was a perfect suduction as planned by God. It is scientifically proven that a woman can have sex with one man and hours or days later have sex with another man and become pregnant with twins by two diferent biological fathers.\n\nIn this case one father was Adam and the other father was Satan or later known as the CANNITES.\n\nWAIT ! IT GETS BETTER AND THEN YOUR EYES WILL BE OPENNED!\n\nWhen cain slew ABLE God called to CAIN. CAIN WERE IS THEY BROTHER? Cain answered " Am I my brothers keeper? God reasoned and said "YOUR BROTHERS BLOOd HAS CRIED OUT TO ME" meaing that blood has a voice that only GOD can hear!\n\nFor this abomination God told Cain that He will CURSE AND DRIVE him out of the garden for killing the son of man. God knew good and well that CAIN and thusly the CANNITES were not of the son of man.\n\n\nIn the fourth chapter of GENISIS Cain makes this statement to GOD: \n   " I shall be a vagabond on the earth: IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT EVERY ONE THAT FINDETH ME SHALL SLAY ME."\n\nIf only Adam and Eve existed ,then  WHO was Cain afraid of that would kill him? Who was it that he would be a fugitive from? It is quite clear that the "everyone ' that Cain was refering to could not be Adam and Eve. Who was Cain refering to?\n\nCain was well aware ( more than some bible readers who could not see this truth) that many people existed in the lands around them. This fact is VERIFIED BY GOD in HIS response to Cain in verse 15:\n\nGod told Cain that " WHOSOEVER OF THE "OTHER" PEOPLE THAT MIGHT SLAY YOU, VENGENEANCE SHALL BE ON THAT PERSON."\n\nWhy did God give Cain and identifying "MARK" if Adam and EVE were the only people who knew him very well and were the only "other " alleged people alive? Why would they need a "mark " to identify Their son Cain?\n\nIf Adam and Eve were the FIRST and ONlY PEOPLE at this time, then from were did Cain find a wife? Not only was he able to find a wife , but there were obviously enough people to be part of the city built by Cain after his expulsion from the garden. Cains marriage, the birth of his son Seth, all these circumstances thus point to the existance of men independent of Adam

No.  Adam and Eve were not necessarily the first human beings.  There are 2 creation accounts in Genesis.  One focuses on the creatrion of the Sabbath, and the other on the creation of  man.  They likely had different authors.  Anyway, in the first, man is created on the 6th day.  In the 2nd, it is not noted when Adam was created.

She needed Adam from whom she came through God's creation. See Answers in Genesis.

The bible only says that Adam and Eve were the first two perfect people living in the garden. It does not say that there were not more living out side the garden that were not so perfect
