Is this Biblical meme true?

I freely admit that I am not religious. I went to Catholic elementary school and a Catholic university but after getting my degree in biology I simply couldn't reconcile the religious teachings I knew with the science facts that I learned.
I'm currently teaching a subject that can be "touchy" for some people. Its not a big deal really to teach evolution in a northeast blue state but that can cause a lot of problems in southern red states. I've been talking about the conflict between past religious teaching and its effect on society vs scientific discoveries and Charles Darwin's publication of his ideas on evolution.
I do often post memes mocking Bible ideas that make no sense, though, like Noah's Magical Zoo Boat. I saw this one come up in my FB memories today. It says that Adam & Eve had 3 sons. . . and then somehow all of humanity was supposed to result from that. I get that I posted it because it points out how impossible that story is. I also don't read the Bible, though, so I don't know if that is actually true. From what I've seen on Google there were 3 sons (Abel, Cain, and Seth) and maybe there were other unnamed children. Um, if there were females why not mention that they were the second generation of mothers? (incest aside)

God did not write the bible we did. And Eve could have had daughters that were not mentioned. If we were to start over we would need two thousand people.
The bible tells stories in favor of men It could have been translated wrong to. .

@NJChicaa We will never know what is in those books. A preacher once told me that GOD will never come back because we are not the way that GOD wanted us to be. We get worse every generation. I am beginning to believe him.
Plus he told me that GOD would changes with times. What was wrong in the bible days in now ok.

I try not to think about things like that. I still believe in God and in Heaven. That's all that's important to me.

God allowed Adam (peace be upon him) to marry his daughters to his sons for necessity. Every couple used to have a boy and a girl. Hence, he married the girl of one couple to the boy of another. This is said by Suddi regarding what has been narrated by Abu Maalik and Abu Salih, from Ibn Abbas, by Murrah from Ibn Masood and by other companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) that Adam did not have (in his grandchildren) a baby boy unless it was accompanied by a girl, so he married the male of a couple to the female of another, and the female of a couple to the male of another.
