is it true there were people before Adam and eve according to the bible?
Gen 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Gen 4:17 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."
There were:
1: Other people who would find Cain and kill him
2: Other people living in Nod, at this point in time Adam had no other children other than Cain and Abel. Seth was born later, and the 'other children' were born after Seth.
3. Enough people to populate a city called Enoch in the land of Nod. Three people, is not a city.
"Gen 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat [a son] in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
Gen 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: "
