Bible Question (short): Did God created people before Adam |
Question (full): In Genesis Chapter one, it states that God created male and female. Does that mean that God created people before Adam and Eve? I was thinking that God did created people before Adam because Adam was the lineage of the Jewish nation, and when Cain was punished for slaying his brother Abel, his wife came from the land of Nod, which was a different place from where he's from? I'm also curious about where did the other people of other nations came from because I don't think we all are descendants of Adam. Any thoughts on this? marg |
