Okay so I was reading Genesis today, and I got to chapter 11 but kept going back to the first two chapters. All my life I've thought that Adam and Eve were the first humans, but the way my bible reads (it's a nasb) it's as though God created humans "male and female he created them". Then had his day of rest THEN after this made a garden, made Adam, made beast to be suitable helpers for Adam but none was found and finally made Eve.. If this is the fact it would explain a lot of the "who did cain marry" questions. It seems as though God made people and set them in motion, but then made Adam and Eve to establish a relationship with them and to set a precedent for what that would be like. Any thoughts on this, esp. from people who've studied the bible and/or gone to seminary would be greatly appreciated.
