The Bible does not give us a specific number. Adam and Eve had Cain (Genesis 4:1), Abel (Genesis 4:2), Seth (Genesis 4:25), and many other sons and daughters (Genesis 5:4).
With likely hundreds of years of child-bearing capability, Adam and Eve likely had many, many children in their lifetime.

What? Hundreds of years of child-bearing capability? Get real here.
That absurdity aside, they would still have been having sex with their siblings. Isn't that frowned upon? Or is it cool?
This has the making of bad jokes about if two children of adam & eve are divorced, are they still brother & sister?
Since some seem to believe that mankind was actually created in 2 different accounts, in gen 1 and gen 2 and while Adam was given a living soul, maybe the others were not and were barbaric in nature. Who knows the mind of God, and how things were done. We just KNOW they were, as we are here now.
From everything I've heard Adam and Eve's kids married each other. I don't believe that but that's the only explanation if you've just got one man and one woman. Then you get a repeat performance after the supposed flood kills everything except for Noah's family and this time it's even worse because every animal would also have to repopulate the earth by inbreeding and incest, something that animals instinctively don't even do by the way.
I don't know for a fact but the Bible doesn't tell us where the other people came from. God may have created more outside of the garden. Maybe they did reproduce with their siblings.
Does that make all of us cousins?
The thing with Noah, the sons took their wifes or wife/cousins on the ark with them.
And Montana why do you think animals don't inbreed? I have 25 hamsters that came from some where!!lol ( you want one?)
I'm just being silly, I think it is time for me to say goodnight.
I'll check back tomorrow to see what you guys came up with.
But don't you guys say the bible is fact, especially when spewing hatred about homosexuals?
Seems that the bible is spot on only when it says what you want it to.
The hypocrisy is endless.
It would have been the siblings of Adam and Eve who procreated since the DNA WAS PURE there wouldn't be defects in the children and at that time it was obvious that there was not any laws on the book concerning incest or murder(Cain) for that fact etc.
It doesn't state in the Bible how long it was until sin had entered the world when Adam and Eve had partaken of the fruit. There could have been many siblings before that time.
