I don't know much about the Bible so help me elaborate my question

You can form an opinion once the three are answered

1.How many children did they have?
2.Does the bible say Eve died?
3. Edit will be made depending on the answers

Number of children:
There's no specific number, according to the Bible they had 3, according to the Book of Jubilees they had 10.
If you do it mathematically with their ages, about 930 years, they could have had over 50 children.

The Bible doesn't say that Eve died, but it's assumed that she did.

Was one of those 3 children a girl?

No. Cain, Abel and Seth.
It doesn't matter though. If they had less than 500 children it can't be true. You need 500 people for a gene pool to work properly.

Yes that is true and actually the point I'm trying to make. How did Adam and Eve create a bigger population if it is impossible to create a gene pool that could evolve?

Well, you're already admitting that God is involved, so why not make one more assumption and say that he intervened and made it work up until the point where it could progress on it's own, naturally? I'm an atheist but I'm all for intellectual honesty about religion. There's no point in ignoring an argument just because it goes against what you're saying.
