On Adam and Eve, according to the theology behind it, God simply made more women for the children as they were born. Remember, that supposedly Adam and Eve lived for around 1000 years, and had many many kids that lived for about as long (each time being progressively less), each set of kids being born in a different "generation."
I think it's all in the Genesis chapter, I can't remember. I think I remember the Bible saying something like, "# of years later, X was born and found a mate, and had so-and-so and so-and-so."
Remember, Abel died and had no kids, and the children of Cain are marked and cursed for eternity, so they aren't all of humanity.
But then remember, that many years later, the Great Flood happened, wiping out most of humanity except for Noah, his children and their wives.
Iunno, the Old Testament is an interesting read, but I find most of it to be metaphorical so... yeah.
