...and where did all the people that came after Cain and Abel come from? Who was their mother?

Cain and Able weren't Adam and Eves only children. Keep in mind that canonically, Adam lived for over 900 years. That's a lot of time you can use to make more babies.

After the whole regicide incident, they also had Seth. Both him and his exiled brother ended up marrying their sisters. Their descendants did the same. So yeah, it's all incest, top to bottom.

The biblical flood was actually created to wipe out the descendants of Cain, since Noah and his cousins wife were both descendants of Seth

Damn TIL! So much for my religious education.

Or, if you're of a more gnostic bent, half fallen angel, half human nephilim who'd been teaching humans forbidden knowledge, such as advanced metal-crafting and makeup.

Still no answer as to where did humans other than Adam and Eve came from.
