One thought:

According to The Bible, In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female, and blessed them........ and Adam lived on hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters.(Genesis 5:4)

This question depends on your faith. Not everybody will have the same thoughts.

Yes, Adam and Eve had children. The book of Genesis gave names to three children, as the couple's first born sons. The first was Cain [4:1], the second Abel [4:2], and the third Seth [4:25]. Genesis went on to say that Adam fathered children after the birth of Seth. The specific phrase was 'other sons and daughters' [5:4]. Because of the plural, it guesstimate would suggest at least two daughters and at least two more sons.

Adam and Eve had many children but only three are named specifically in the Bible. Cain (Genesis 4:1), Abel (Genesis 4:2) and Seth (Genesis 4:25). Later on in Genesis, it is stated that they had many other sons and daughters (Genesis 5:4) but none of them are listed by name.

Genesis 5:3-5 answers the question explicitly "When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died."

Answer1:

The number of children that Adam and Eve parented wasn't specified in the Bible. The book of Genesis identified three children by name: Cain, in 4:1; Abel, in 4:2; and Seth, in 4:25. Genesis went on to indicate that Adam fathered other 'sons and daughters' [5:4]. So a guesstimate would be at least five sons and at least two daughters in all.

Answer2:

The Bible (Genesis 5:4) tells us that Adam and Eve had, "sons and daughters", however we only have a record of 3 of their sons, Cain, Abel and Seth. We also know (Genesis 5:3) that Adam was 130 years old when Seth was born, and then went on to live altogether for 930 years. Given that God instructed Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:28) to "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth", it is anybody's guess how many sons they had. You can imagine that Adam and Eve's family grew rapidly.

A modern fertile family who don't use Birth Control might have say, 12 children during their 80 years of life. Adam and Eve lived more that 10 times that long. A conservative estimate for them would suggest perhaps 20 children every 80 years or 1 child every 4 years. That would mean, by the time Seth came along they would have had around 30 children, and perhaps about 15 of them would have been sons.

Extrapolating, and assuming Eve didn't have any more children over the last 100 years of her life), Adam and Eve could possibly have had more than 200 children, 100 of them sons.

Yes, Adam and Eve's sons had wives. Cain was described as being a husband and father in Genesis 4:17. Seth likewise was so described in Genesis 4:26 and 5:6. But in not a single one of the preceding cases was a name supplied for either one of the couple's daughter-in-laws.

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).

Who were the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve?

The phrases the 'sons of Adam' and the 'daughters of Eve' come from 'The Chronicles of Narnia' by Clive Staples Lewis [November 29, 1898-November 22, 1963]. They're used to describe the four children who go out through the wall of their closet and ultimately into the magical land of Narnia. In Narnia, the lion Aslan refers to the male and female children respectively as Adam's sons and Eve's daughters. The reference is to their carrying the taint of Adam's and Eve's original disobedience of divine law.
