How did Adam and Eve populate the earth with only two sons?

Adam and Eve had many children, not just two male sons. The events that transpired between Cain and Abel typifies the conflicts not only between individual humans but also typifies conflicts between human groups as well. Even today we can identify which group of humans play the role of Cain and Abel. Today, oppressors play the role of Cain while the oppressed play the role of Abel. One must be able to understand the difference between the literal and the metaphoric to get a grip on this topic. The rise and fall of civilizations is a wave phenomenon or spiral and should be viewed as such. Where literal interpretation ends metaphoric interpretation begins. There have been many “Adams and Eves” who have come, bred and raised children and passed away. Life and civilization is a wave phenomenon or a spiral and not an upward arrow. Who came before Adam?

There exist contexts in the Quran in which the meaning of the word "tree" make sense when interpreted symbolically other than their literal meaning. We can interpret the meaning of "trees" as fractals which are mathematical objects. The existence of mathematical objects presupposes the existence of intelligence which is concerned with beauty. A tree is the result of consciousness, which renders it as a mathematical object - a clear mental construct - first before it is projected as manifestations both in the realm of nature as well as in the human imagination.   From searching on quran.com , we filtered the following results: 7:22 So he brought about their fall through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their nakedness was exposed to them, prompting them to cover themselves with leaves from Paradise. Then their Lord called out to them, “Did I not forbid you from that tree and ˹did I not˺ tell you that Satan is your sworn enemy?"   An detaile
