Thereishel: God is not the author of confusion, look at Gen.5: 4, "And the days of Adam......and he begat sons and daughters" There are no sequence of events in the bible, to my understand I think Cain married one of Adam's daughters and was reported earlier in Gen 4.

and let us not forget to add that god said "we are made of dust and shall return to dust" how does that say we shall go to heaven upon death? seriously think about it smiley so many errors and its just the first part of the book, and i firmly believe that once you tell a lie and are caught in it, then anything spoken before hand and afterwords must be questioned, and the "lie" is in the first book and chapters so how can the rest of it be true? think about it smiley

Goshen360: The OP asked, "Did God Create Some Set Of Males And Females Before Adam And Eve"?. The simple answer is NO.

Following the scriptures above, 1 Corinthians 15:45, Adam is the FIRST man (not men) and from Adam, every human race came to be, Acts 17:26. Eve on the other hand is called mother of ALL human race. So, the question of if God created other males and females BEFORE or AFTER Adam and Eve is scriptural nonsense. Because Adam sinned, EVERY HUMAN RACE sinned in and through Adam because every human race was INSIDE of Adam just like Eve was brought out from Adam.

Genesis 4:16-17 states, "And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife and she conceived and bare Enoch."

The problem which many see is, "With only two boys on earth at that time, where did a woman come from? With just Adam and Eve, Abel’s parents – and Cain his brother, where did a 'woman’ come from? Was there another race of people on earth in a place called `Nod' and
Cain went there to get his wife?"

This, of course, is not what the Bible says. The problem is, (what it often is), people misquoting the Bible and saying it says what it does not say. The Bible does not say that Cain got his wife in the land of Nod. What it does say is that, in the land of Nod, "Cain knew his wife." Any scholar knows this word "knew" in Scripture has to do with family life, it does not mean "to get acquainted with," but, rather, refers to the begetting of children. As the New International Version renders it, "Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch."

And, the Bible does not say that the land of Nod was a far-off country, it merely states that Nod was "east of Eden" All Scripture states in these verses, Genesis 4:16-17, is that Cain took his wife and went to live on the east side of Eden, in a place called "the land of Nod" and, while there, his first child was born.

to be continue . . .

God did the creation as we read about it in the Bible because all people God gave revelation and those inspired by His Spirit to write down what He gave them did not in any place throughout the Bible dispute the information about creation of Adam. Also Jesus who knows it all from the beginning is not quoted in the New Testament contradicting this fact. God the creator exposed some facts about creation and made it possible for us to exploit while there are still many things in the creation that man will never be able to explore, cos they are concealed. It is so glaring in the Bible that in early history of record keeping, mostly in the old Testament women and children were not often taken records of, if not at all. An example of this is seen in the book of Exodus where the account of Israelites that left Egypt reflected over six hundred thousand ONLY men, not counting women and children. So based on the question OP asked, the answer has been provided, read Genesis 5:4.
Re: Did God Create People Before Adam And Eve? by Xano(m): 6:11pm On Sep 12, 2013
Goshen360: Most think that there was only Cain and Abel born to Adam and Eve but the Bible actually teaches that by the time Cain took a wife there were many human beings, that came from Adam and Eve according to Acts 17:26. It's not everything recorded in the Book of Genesis is written in an exact chronological order. The events of Genesis eleven (the Tower of Babel) happened in the middle of chapter 10, chronologically speaking.

Genesis 5:4 states, "Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters."

Both Adam and Eve driven out of the garden. Genesis 3:23-24. All their offspring were born outside the garden. Gen 5:4 "After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters.” The male child born to Adam and Eve after Cain killed Abel was Seth, when Adam was 130 years old.

Gen 5:6 Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begot Enosh. Scripture tells us "After he (Adam) begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters." (Gen. 5:4). It also says of Seth "After he begot Enosh, Seth lived eight hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters (Gen. 5:7). Daughters are not mentioned Gen.5 the phrase had sons and daughters is the key phrase but the first male born in the family is mentioned by name and also for God to show us the lineage with which the messiah will come, so not all names are necessary.

So either Cain got his wife sometime after from Seth's lineage or from Adam and Eves lineage that produced numerous children after they left the garden. We see by the record that there were a number of people by the time Cain killed his brother Abel, Genesis 4:15.

Besides these three sons Adam and Eve had many other unnamed sons and daughters.The Bible does not give the exact time period when Cain took his wife. Depending on how much time there was between Cain being married, he either married a distant sister, or if enough time transpired, he could have married his own niece.

Marriage to a sister in the early stage of the human race was not considered wrong or unnatural. Even later on Abraham’s wife was his half-sister (Genesis 20:12); also 24:4 and 28:2. God did not prohibit such marriages until the time of Moses when is was specifically stated it was against the law of God according to Lev. 18:9, 18:11, 20:17, and Deut. 27:22.

There's simplicity in scriptures even though somethings scripture is silent, then we have to remain silent too. If God through the Apostles said, ALL human race came from Adam and Eve, I don't know of any interpretation that could be given to it other than this. To say God created other people aside Adam and Eve destroys the truth of scriptures.

Na your eye, cos u dey there

Goshen360: There's no confusion with God but with men. You have to STUDY with understanding. Genesis have two creation record. One was in a bullet form kind of and the other in "how" it was done form kind of. God created ONLY ONE MAN - Eve in ADAM and so, God didn't have to create Eve again but only took her OUT FROM Adam. If they were many God created, why don't God or Adam find Eve from other women?

There is a man I know in the flesh on this forum that teach such heretic teachings that God created many people not only Adam. Such is NOT right! If God created many people, then who sinned first that we all have to be made sinner because the whole nation was IN that ONE MAN?

Bible story of creation is doubtful. Eden is somewhere close to the present day Iran but science proves the earliest man and indigenous tribe by DNA analysis is in Central Africa.

It makes more sense since human origin is traceable to mars. So the spacecraft's landing can only be towards the equator from mars.

Cain and Abel were not the only children of Adam and Eve. Just recently evidence was found that traced the origin of humans to a single ancestor. The problem of most people is misunderstanding the figures of speech of the Holy Bible. John 1: 1 explained the mystery of creation. In the beginning was the WORD. What is the WORD? In what form did the WORD exist? Simple biology, chemistry and physics have shown us how life can start from air, water and light.

Why do people spend a lifetime trying to prove the Bible right in regards origin of man when its actually misleading.

Origin of man is billions of years and bible isnt even up to 10, 000 years old.

Our genetics indicate we are alien to Earth system which is why we get infected from earth elements.

Humans keep talking about "their home in the skies" which most holy books decide to call heaven.

I have scientific and spiritual evidences to proof we originated from Mars and teleported to Earth after Nuclear destruction of mars, but am on phone.

I don't know why people are even debating this issue. The point of reference here, "the Bible", was written by man. MAN lies, and has been doing so since creation so why is it hard to believe that the BIBLE that was WRITTEN by MAN may be full of LIES? This applies to all other holy books that one can not mention as well to preven trigger happy banning mods.
Debating whether there were men before Adam and Eve is futile because the basis is the BIBLE which is not 100% accurate since it was WRITTEN and COMPILED by MAN.

Re: Did God Create People Before Adam And Eve? by bola4dprec(m): 7:19pm On Sep 12, 2013
A further challenge for the Muslim would concern the presence of death, suffering, grief, etc., in the world. Consider the following exchange between American TV host Larry King and Georgetown University’s Islamic professor of theology, Maysam Al-Faruqi:

KING: Maysam, if you believe in heaven and paradise, then dying is good?

AL-FARUQI: Absolutely. And dying is perfectly natural, it’s the end of things.

KING: Why do we treat it tragically? … …

AL-FARUQI: Well, there is the pain …15

So in this Muslim (also theistic evolutionary) view of death as ‘perfectly natural’, why grieve and wail at the death of a loved one? The Islamic professor’s answer, ‘Well, there is the pain …’ begs the question: ‘So pain and suffering are a “natural”? part of God’s good (Koran 32:7) creation, too?’ Clearly, Muslims have no satisfactory answer.

So if Adam impregnated his daughters and Cain impregnated his sisters then whats the justification for terming it "sin"?


lol....Truth is not in religion.

Truth is in spirit science. Go to Google and type spirit science and go to youtube and do same. keep an open mind and you be set free from the bondage of religion and dogma.

ayobase: According to Genesis 1:22-27, "26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

God created these set of people on the sixth day.

And in Genesis 2:7-8 "7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."


I would have said the latter was the manifestation of the former, but Cain's issue complicated things in Genesis 4:16-17. He found a wife in the land of Nod and married there. I don't think Adam and Eve gave birth to those!


Back to the question or conclusion, one can certianly say God created some set of people before Adam and Eve.
Read Gen 5: 1-5. Adam had other sons and daughters. Cain must have married one of his sisters.
