I mean, apart from the archaeologist part that seems pretty sane to me to ask if you're an atheist or at least a skeptic.

Adam and Eve have two kids, Cain and Abel.
Cain kills Abel (8). Cain gets cursed. (11) Cain is afraid he'll be killed by... ??? (14). God is all, nah fam karma mark lmao. (15) Cain goes and lives in the land of Nod. (16) Cain, one of three living humans at this point, makes love to his wife, who randomly now exists, and births a son, Enoch. Cain also builds a city... for the now five people who live on Earth. (17).
Apparently the biblical explanation is that it's a sister of Cain. Maybe the daughters births didn't warrant an extra line in the Bible? It probably doesn't keep a record of when Adam and Eve acquire new property as that's mostly what women were considered.
From the Creation Museum. Directly from their website, so they're proud of this:
Number six is my favorite. "Because God said incest was okay back then and who are you to judge?"
No one commented on “get his wife”? I assume a bride mail order catalog? They must have existed back then.
Around that time, in that region, it was more often a trade, gimme something and get my property (daughter).
