Responce: What, you have to realize is that the council of nicea did not have anything to do with the selecting of the canon, it was a debate between a man named Arius and Athenasus( I spelled that wrong) Also the word canon means measuring rod, so what happended was that the church fathers realized that there were rules to follow dealing with what books fit in together. Concerning the books you mentioned you have to take note that in the days of Jesus the old testament was already set the had books already in front of them, that's why Jesus would respond as it is written, also the apostles nor Christ never mentioned any of the above books, also neither did any of the early church. Then in AD 70 the council of Jamnia put the official books of the old testament in order, even though the books were already recognized as part of scripture.

>if according to the bible
>there were only adam,eve,cain,abel,and suppossed
>wives(sisters,whatever)? .

Responce: Adam lived to be 9oo plus years, so by the time cain killed abel there were many people who lived in the land who had spread across the near east.

#3 doesnt that
>contradict the only adam and
>eve theory, which in it
>self is a contradiction in
>the bible?

Responce: No not at all, Adam had children , his children had children. The bible is not written as a step by step narritive it skips generations an so forth. Like son could mean grandson.
