    Genesis doesn’t say all of us came from Adam and Eve. Just that they were the first. Genesis neither says, nor implies, that God stopped at Adam & Eve.

      It is crystal clear that Adam and Eve were the first humans and all descended from them. The bible is obviously bullshit, but don’t make shit up either to make yourself sound smart.

      Luke 3:38 Acts 17:26 1 Corinthians 15:20-22

      Genesis seemed like it was two stories mashed up to one.

      One had a mass of people already created, like you said but another story where Adam is first person.

      My punishment is greater than I can bear! Today you have driven me away from the soil, and I shall be hidden from your face; I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and anyone who meets me may kill me.

      People already existed or is it assumed Eve populated the world in some way?

        I assumed there were other people in Nod.

        16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

        17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
