Cain and Abel are thought to have been brothers, not half-brothers. They are both believed to have been sons of Adam and Eve.

God didn't put Eve into a deep sleep. Instead, only Adam was put into a deep sleep. During that sleep, God removed one of Adam's ribs. With that rib, God made Eve as a helpmate to the lonely first man.
What is the meaning of Since Eve ate the apple much depends on dinner?
Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, a perfect utopia where no one had to worry about where their next meal came from; food and means to survive were simply provided. When Eve (and Adam) ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, God thrust them out of the garden into an imperfect world (the one we live in) where we all have to work for our meals and to survive. Therefore, "much depends upon dinner".
What variety of apple did Adam and Eve eat?
The story of Adam and Eve gets simplified for young children, including the fruit they ate being described as an apple. However, the tree we find in the Bible is not an apple tree, it is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, a common motif in ancient Near Eastern religions.
When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, they became like gods (Genesis 3:22-23): "And the Lord God said, Behold the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the Tree of Life, and live forever: therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden." This is not what happens when you eat an apple!

Gen:20:2: And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Gen:20:12: And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
It was not forbidden until the time of Moses.

Where in The Bible did eve pray?
Though no record of Eve having prayed by herself is mentioned in scripture, we have to assume that she would have offered up her thanks for many things. It is totally illogical to say that she never did pray.
What did Eve tell Adam when they first met?
At Genesis 2:23, ADAM spoke up when he first saw his new wife, and said: "This is at last bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh. This one will be called Woman, Because from man this one was taken." Eve's responses are not mentioned in the Bible. Infact, the only place any of Eve's comments are recorded is when she spoke to Satan in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:2+3),later when she spoke to God trying to excuse what she'd done (Genesis 3:13) and again when she'd given birth to her third son, Seth (Genesis 4:1).
Why is man not missing a rib today if God took one from Adam to create Eve?
If a man has surgery to remove his appendix, would you find it reasonable for his sons to be born without appendixes and his daughters to have them? This is a good example of people applying disastrous pseudoscience in order to somehow reconcile 'science' with ancient texts. It was thought for a time that men indeed have one fewer rib than women for the reason given. And then this popular belief turned out not to be true at all.
According to the narrative, Adam existed in full adult form when the rib was taken. Why not presume that Adam's genetic structure remained intact over the course of his lifetime and this structure is what he passed on? Otherwise you would need to hypothesize that the Deity for some reason decided that he made a mistake, and 'fixed' Adam's DNA to reflect his corrected form. The narrative simply states that God fashioned a woman using one of Adam's ribs; there is no assertion or implication that Adam's original form was a mistake. The narrative is not meant to reflect a 'creation correction' on the part of the Deity; it is also not meant to be a scientific treatise.
What Bible verse tells of Eve's sin?
Genesis 3:6. When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. New International Version
If you want biblical explanations, the bible does have one for the existence of different languages, which is the story of the Tower of Babel. As for different races, presumably different children of Adam and Eve gave rise to different races (some theologians prefer to trace back the different races to the different children of Noah). But bear in mind that the bible is a form of mythology, which should not be taken literally.
Why is Adam to blame for evil acts?
adam and eve are not responsible for evil acts committed by their offspring, they only introduced evil to the human bloodline by eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Did Adam and Eve wear a fig leaf after eating the apple?
Yes. (Genesis 3:7)
But God didn't think that was enough to cover them; so God made longer garments for them. Genesis 3:21.
Also, a side note, the Bible does not say that Adam and Eve ate an 'apple'. It says they ate a 'fruit'.(Genesis 3:6)
Why did god create eve when he knew she was not right for Adam?
God knew that it was not good for the man to continue by himself. However, before proceeding to create the woman, God brought various beasts of the earth and flying creatures to the man. Adam named these but found no helper among them. It was then that Jehovah had a deep sleep fall upon Adam, removed a rib from his side, and after having closed up the flesh, built the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman. No doubt knowing by direct revelation from God his Creator and Father how the woman came into existence, Adam was pleased to accept her as his wife. As his complement Adam called his wife ʼish‧shah′ (woman, or, literally, female man), "because from man this one was taken." (Genesis 2:18-23) Thereupon God pronounced his fatherly blessing upon both of them: "Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it." They were also to have the animal creation in subjection. (Genesis 1:28) As a work of God's hands, the woman was perfectly suited for being a complement to her husband Adam and also being a mother.
