@GuyWithOpinions only if God didn't create other humans at the same time as Adam and Eve.

@PatientlyWaiting25 I thought Adam and Eve were the first humans.

@Ferise1 That's the usual view but I think you should read and interpret the Bible for yourself, and pray for truth to be revealed rather than blindly follow what most church pastors tell you you should believe.
There is scope for other interpretations. What I believe is that 1 and 2 Genesis are not Chronological and can be read as two completely different times periods and that would allow the possibility for other humans to have been created. Also, the Hebrew for Adam also means "mankind" as a collective as well as a personal name. If you accept the traditional organized religion view, then in Genesis 4, when Cain was exiled after killing Abel, who was he scared of being attacked by if there were no other pre-existing humans at that time?

@PatientlyWaiting25 oh my God you’re grasping at straws so much you’re so desperate

@Ferise1 where am I grasping at straws? I'm just answering a question as I see it. I think its desperately narrow minded to automatically mistrust what the Bible says because so far, organized religion hasn't helped you and you can't be bothered to read the Bible yourself with an open mind and an attitude that you might meet with God if you pray about it.
