Is there a part of the Bible that talks about after the snake knocked up eve? What happened after that? To get where we are today. god had to allow inbreeding. How did earth become populated?

The story was never meant to be the interpreted as literally true. It's clear fairly early on that there are other people around not from the Adam and Eve line.
And just where did Adam, Eve and the others come from? Surely not monkeys?
The Alabama state motto is “Inbreeding is hot (just don’t get caught)”
I don't care because it's a fake story.
No, evolved with monkeys from a common ancestor, not from monkeys.
Well if you get nailed to a cross and somebody stabs you with a spear, you’re probably going to die. I don’t think you’ll be crawling out of any caves 3 days later though. Also, whores are good company, I’ve seen trading places.
Philippians 4:7 says, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus"123. The world's wisdom is limited to man's thinking, but God's wisdom surpasses all of the world's wisdom4. Acknowledging and honoring the Lord with your life is the foundation and the start of true wisdom4.
My interpretation was that other humans existed in a sparsely populated earth and that Adam and Eve were just the beginning of God's chosen people.
If you look at Genesis 4 it talks about Cain and Abel being born. No mentions of any others at this point. Cain murders Abel and goes into exile, then right after he goes into exile, his wife has children.
Now the only 2 possible interpretations of this is Cain married his sister that was never mentioned or that Cain married a woman who was living in the area where he settled. Remember this all happens in the same chapter of the same book, so it's not like it had different writers or anything. Even if Genesis is all lies, one has to assume the writer is smart enough to know that there is an issue of where this woman came from. So the writer is clearly operating on an assumption of information that someone else knows that has since been lost. And that information is either that Adam and Eve were not the only people around when they had children or that Cain married his sister.
Now I would argue there is another clue as to which one it might be. If you go on to Genesis 4:22 it mentions that Lemech's second wife Zillah has 2 children a son Tubal-cain and a daughter Naamah. Naamah never appears again in scripture to my knowledge.
So to me this as a context clue goes to show that the scripture would not simply neglect the mention of daughters simply because they are daughters or because they are not necessarily important to the story.
Christianity believes that God created the universe and
everything in it. The sun, moon, and stars, day and night,
the four seasons, the mountains, the fields, the trees,
the oceans, animals, birds, fish.
The crowning point of God's creation was human beings.
The miracle of the human body is the work of God. We
are not biological accidents who have evolved, instead
we have received our breath from our Creator God.

Oppenheimer is at fault. Bikini bottom was nuked and now we have a talking sponge.
The same way Biden's offshore bank accounts became populated without ever doing anything but being a public servant. Magic.
(I'll check back in on page 30 where nothing has been answered or resolved and no ones' opinions have had their needles moved)

Genesis 4:14-15 when Cain was sent to the land of Nod to start a family. It's implied there are others there for him to mate with.
Similar to how all the inbreeding led to all the Trump supporters? Let's derail this thread, whooooo!
LOL...Find ONE Biden thread that isn't derailed within 4 posts. Not to mention the fact your upset that an obvious troll thread might go off the rails somehow.
This is why the reformation was a bad idea. Teach the peasants to read and hand them a bible and they come up with several interpretations of a story and choose their own adventure. At least the Catholics leave it to the professionals.
I had a co-worker that had an uncle start a cult called The Trumpet Call of God, it’s still around. The family basically has to give all of their possessions and money they can survive without to the guy but I don’t think he takes money from other member for now. I got curious about it just because this co-worker had some pretty strict things. Friday’s if it was coming close to sunset he clocked out and left work because they observe a strict Saturday sabbath, so he wasn’t available to work saturdays either if we were swamped.
So I read some of the new writings from the prophet uncle who first started talking with god in a hotel after getting out of a place for the mentally unwell. Timothy is quite the crazy person.

I just came here to include my CSB from Jay Holstein.
Holstein liked to point out that Eve did not come from Adam’s rib. The more literal interpretation of the ancient Hebrew simply means Eve came from “within” Adam, but not a specific part or bone.
I always found it interesting how the translation morphed over time. I’m sure there are plenty of other examples throughout the Bible too, this one just seemed relevant.
Anyways, carry on.

I was trying to be funny. Sorry, I didn't realize you were so serious.
In Genesis Chapter 5 Cain and Abel are born. Cain then kills Abel. God gets pissed, and Cain moves to "Nod" and gets married. So apparently Nod was another town populated with other people.
Yeah, any story that doesn't make sense to today's audience is explained away as translation issues, incorrect interpretation, taken out of context, appropriate for the those times, etc. So if the Bible appears to be an error, it's the a problem with the Bible, the problem is with us mere mortals.
Seriously
It's like you have never seen Lucifer...they make it pretty clear that the only other one around was Lilith, and she dumped Adam.
Dumbass Adam had two hotties...the second of which would rather be LGBTQ with one of his daughters from his first marriage.
Some of the "missing" elements weren't required because the audience didn't need them. They were apparent to the people living at the time.
The early Christian church did not assume a literalist view of the Bible. This is apparent in the writings of Origen and probably earlier. I don't think there is any reason to think the ancient Hebrews were literalists either.
Sigh.
I'm not really familiar with this whole 'snake knocking up eve thing" you refer to, and while I do consider myself religious, frankly, I'm not a biblical literalist. But for the sake of shits and giggles (mostly the latter), considering your question through a rather strange mishmash lens of theology, sociology, and modern Darwinian genetics, I suppose here's how I'd respond.
Yes, in the earliest days, there would have been inbreeding. But consider, of course, that inasmuch as Adam and Eve were created perfectly by God, the risk-probability of the things we moderns usually associate with inbreeding in the early days would likely have been quite low. But then, of course, at some point over time we would shift to a more Darwinian dynamic of natural genetic mutation (which of course was built into the original creation by God to allow for variation so that we humans could survive environmental and other changes), and the risks of those modern West Virginian types of things would increase. And indeed, you start to see the taboo against incest start to develop in the Mosaic law in Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, etc. (just as many of the other elements of the Mosaic law often reflected common sense public health principles) - though somewhat humorously, those crafty jews were ok with incest among the gentiles but not among themselves, presumably so that Israel could be better at being fruitful and multiplying than the shiksas, and ultimately take control of the promised land. Eventually though, the gentiles caught on and the taboo became more universal, probably around the time of Jesus or perhaps St. Cornelius the Centurion. At the end of the day, it's all fully consistent with the bigger soteriology story.

Kind of mean for God to create all beings then just choose some to be his “chosen” ones? The rest are SOL?
In the beginning, the scientist-god genetically engineered the first male human. Rather than starting from scratch again to produce a female human, he cloned the male but replaced the Y chromosome with a duplicate X chromosome.
When the bible talks about taking a rib from Adam, "rib" is just a poetic way of describing "X chromosome" to people who lack the education to understand what actually happened.

Nonsense. There are plenty of species aside from humans that are apex predators within their food chains.
It is a very crazy bacteria that has no purpose but to eat the living. GWAR is a metal band and I see creationist god from the Old Testament as some kind of vengeful metal head. I could see Old Testament god being a fan of GWAR and their stage costumes.
