The Old Testament

During the last week, Jale discovered her curiousity about God, church and especially The Old Testament...the beginning of it all. She has a special childrens bible and a childrens DVD telling different stories from the Old Testament. Jale is really fascinated, she loves it, surprises us with things of the OT that we did not even know. I read some chapters with her and not Jale but Julia asked me a question afterwards that I could not answer.

The kids bible describes the beginning. How God created the world, how he created Adam + Eve and the Garden of Eden. In the second chapter the story of Kain + Abel is being told like this: Kain + Abel were the only kids of Adam + Eve
If those 2 boys were the only kids, how could they keep the population up and rising? The kids bible is not telling everything and not chronological...so I guess there must be some chapter(s) in between explaining our question.

I know that there are some smart followers of my blog who will now have a good laugh about my ignorance, but hey, stop laughing, and tell me what happened...please!!
