The term "Fallen Angels" in Genesis didn't refer to spirit beings but men who married the daughters of Adam & Eve and had children. These men came from an advanced scientific and religious society. What do you believe regarding this, keeping in mind there's a lot about Genesis we don't really understand.

The fallen angels I speak of are not Satan & his angels. Thee were other types of fallen angels who went their seperate ways and had nothing to do with evil.

The term fallen angels, would refer to the satan and his followers when they fell from grace. satan appeared to Eve as a serpant and forced her to eat the fruit. If satan, who was a fallen angel himself, can change his form, why wouldn't the other fallen angels be able to take the forms of men and marry granddaughters of Adam? Adam and Eve bore only 2 daughters, and they married their brothers, Cain and Seth.
We all know what happened to Abel.
To answer your question, there were no other humans before Adam. He was also the first human to die, of natural causes. He was 930, and that was plenty of time to populate the earth. He did tell his son Seth, on his dying bed, never to let his descendents mix with the descendents of Cain, who was cast out for his crime.

before god made the earth , there was only heaven where god lived with the angels, fallen angels were , the angels that rebelled against god so lucifer and his band of fallen angels were sent out of heaven and that was hell. here after god made the earth and every thingin it , he then made adam and eve, god told adam and eve they could eat of any tree but from the tree of knowledge, satan in the disguise of a serpant tempted eve who in turn tempted adam, and thus they were driven out of paradise and they lived and multiplied,
if you are a christian and believe in jesus christ you must believe in the bible, then,
if you are not a christian you re entitled to think what the scientest think who said the earth evolved and life began as a single cell, would like to ask scientiest where did that single cell come from some one must have made that,
the bible may have been interpreted wrong seven days need not mean a day consisting of twenty four hours but could mean that a day ment several years, the devil still exists but in everlasting hell and the fight for souls is always there the fight between good and evil, and the devil has one many followers and so has christ, but in the end it will be good triumphing over evil

First of all and most importantly who wrote the bible? King James , correct and who is he man so what make his word or not even his because he didn't actually write it but my point is what make man word so above GOD?
If these men were so advance and scientific and religious why would the have sexually relations with there own family member?
Wouldn't you think they would know better if they were this intelligent?
One thing do agree with is that there is a lot about Genesis and life itself that we as mortal human beings in this advance time and age that we just will never know because we weren't there.
There is another story about the beginning of our incredible world as a matter of fact there many stories that have not been told. For instance where were the Black people in the bible, where were the Chinese people, where was Russian people, why is the bible not specific about all the people of the world. Why?

I do believe that there were people on earth before Adam and Eve. I don't believe that human beings like us were the first people here. God told Adam and Eve to replenish the earth, indicating that there was another race here before us. This would also explain dinosaurs and other extinct creatures and the skeletal remains of prehistoric man.
Then of course there is the question of aliens. Personally, I believe in them, but I keep this to myself because many people don't receive that very well.
What is most significant is that God gave us everything we need to know to serve Him, live happily and peacefully, and to enter into eternal life, not the least of which was Jesus Christ Himself!
One day we will be with the Lord in heaven, and He will answer all of our questions and reveal to us every unsolved mystery we have ever wondered about.
For now, instead of getting too bogged down by the mysteries of the universe, just enjoy living for God. Realizing that we don't know everything and that we don't have all the answers can be a very comforting feeling when we are trusting in the One who does have all the answers!
God bless you.

The term "fallen angel" or "sons of God" refered to in Genesis 6.2 is MANY generations after Adam and Eve. This is the time of Noah almost 930 years after Adam (see gen 5) Were they advanced scientifically? who knows ? they werent advanced enough to survive the flood though.

since adam and eve were the first people on earth then the answer to your question is no . I believe the term fallen angels is referring to the war in heaven

I do believe in God. I have seen and held artifacts so ancient that I was filled with wonder. I continue to seek knowledge. Why was a certain branch of the human family destined to be the catalyst of all the uproar concerning the documentations in the books of the Bible ? Human beings were here in antiquity, I firmly believe. How long is a day in God's eyes ? What was lost in translation ? Too many things to ponder now. Great questions seem to cause a furor here, but I think you just asked one. Get ready.

If you don't believe in the childish bible stories of creation, then YES....we are simply a product of evolution and people existed long before Adam and Eve were invented...

I haven't heard that they were advanced. I had heard that Adam and Eve were not the first but the first that were created in the image of God and had a soul.
