I meant that Adam and Chava were created as adults - not Cain and Hevel

JCR: Ok! That's seems to make more sense. The torah text
seems to support this view. However, the way the text
seems to read it appears that the author intended the
readers to understand that Adam and Chava were expelled
from the garden and that thereafter Chava became pregnant
gave birth and had Cain and Hevel and thereafter also
other sons and daughters.
