Who were the people mentioned in the Bible before Adam & Eve?

[MsEVP]

I`ve also got this question in the Religion topic, worded a bit differently, hoping to get a more enlightened answer. From ChatterBank I just want to see what the awareness level is on this matter. Because most people say, automatically, that Adam & Eve were the first people mentioned. Not to say that enlightened answers DON`T come from ChatterBank! Far from it. It`s just that if I`d asked the simple question on here I could see someone jumping straight in with YOU SHOULD PUT THAT IN THE RELIGION SECTION. And I thought it was too interesting for you lot to miss. Phew! have I explained enough?

Incorrect! Go to the BOTTOM of the class.

Cain went to the land of Nod and met his wife. So there must have been other people somewhere....

[Ethel]

Samael and Lilith are sometimes suggested as being before Adam and Eve, and another woman whose name escapes me.

Have a look at the tip of my tongue - it is right there

I would sincerely hope so Daniela. Otherwise it was Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel.

3 guys and 1 girl and we all descended from them?! I'm suprised we aren't all chewing corn and playing the banjo!

Eve was Adam's second wife, Lilith was his first.

so let me get this straight...adam and eve were not the first people then..(according to the bible)

how did the animals come about btw...assuming that adam and eve populated the world

[daniela31]

Cain killed his brother, so it was up to him to continue the family name....

how did cain create animals

[eltelioni]

According to the Bible, God created the animals.

did god create the dinosaurs?

[Ethel]

God created the animals.

Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found
Genesis 2:19-20

This reminds me of the old joke:

Teacher: "Johnny, Who was the first woman in the Bible?"
Johnny: "I dont know"
Teacher:"I'll give you a clue, it was something to do with an apple."
Johnny: "Granny Smith?"

[eltelioni]

God did not create the dinosaurs. According to Creationists he created the world 4000 years ago and went to the trouble of burying fossils to suggest the Earth is older and was populated by creatures that never actually existed. Why did He do this? To test our faith apparently. What a twisted, devious God he is!
