Of course, the bible doesn’t say she had children pre-fall, nor does it say she didn’t have any. Either conclusion seems to be an argument from silence.

While I agree that it would be an argument from silence, the fact is that it is such an important subject that silence from the Bible regarding any children born before the fall would have a huge implication regarding the whole issue of salvation. For example if Eve had a boy and a girl prior to the fall, then this boy and this girl would not have inherited death through Adam since they came before the fall and not after. If they married, we would have a sub-set of people who were not affected by the fall and who did not need a Savior. Yet scripture says that all of us born from our father Adam were “in Adam” when he sinned so that “in Adam all die”.

1 Cor 15:21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
1 Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned–

Rom 5:15 But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
Rom 5:16 The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.
Rom 5:17 For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
Rom 5:18 So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.
Rom 5:19 For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.

Where would we fit children who were not “in Adam” when he sinned? I think that this is one area that no children were mentioned as being born in the garden and no children left the garden with Adam and Eve, we can be sure that the only people here are earth are those who were “in Adam” when he sinned and who are all subject to death. If there are two “kinds” of humans, one subject to death and the other not subject to death then God made a huge mistake by not telling us about another “kind” of person born without the sentence of death upon them through Adam.
