How can the bible be taken litteraly at all!?!
It's a simple story. Adam and Eve have 2 (male) children and one kills the other. This leaves Dad, mom and son. How did those three people multiply? Did the son sleep with his mother? Did Adam and Eve have a daughter? Who impregnated her? Yuk!! So why do people believe this is how humanity started? Do religious people really prefer massive incest to evolution!?!
I guess the lesson is: if you want to believe don't ask!

Oh, c'mon... just go to chapter five:
"The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters."
But even assuming evolutionary theory, at *some* point there was only one living thing, right? You've still got incest, even if it happens at the first appearance of sexually-reproducing organisms.
Nope. This is why it takes a lot of generations to make a new species and it's a continuous change. A population of prehumans kept changing over millenia before they could be considered humans, but there was no prehuman who gave birth to a almost-hairless modern human. It was a continious change. IN fact inbreeding is the only way to keep a species stagnant. See information on making new dog breeds for a practical example of this.
