Genesis 1:27
"So God created Man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them"
Genesis 4:13-15
"Cain said to the Lord,"My punishment is more than I can bear. Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from our presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." But the Lord said to him "Not so, if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him."
To me this suggests that there were other people on the earth, or why would Cain have been afraid? And why would God speak as though he was making more than one man and one woman. I believe that Adam and Eve were the chosen ones, whom would share in a special communion with God, but were not necessarily the first humans. I'd love to know you opinions. (By the way, I am a Christian)

congratulations you are one of the very few people astute enough to catch that. Here is your answer. the new testament says that one day to god is a thousand years to man and thousand years to man is just one day for god. You get the idea. So when in genesis say on the sixth "day" God created the nations , the ethos IE ethnic races, etc. it means he created all the races on the sixth "day" which is actually a thousand year period, get it? Then on the seventh "day" or thousand year period , he rested which means there was two thousand years between the beginning of the sixth "day" and the end of seventh day. After the seventh "day " he created Adam and eve. they of course were the last race to be created. they were the beginning of the Jewish race . so the races created on the sixth day had 2,000 years to be fruitful and multiply before Adam and eve were even on the scene.
I am impressed. keep up the good work and god bless.

I think you are right. Your argument makes sense. There is nothing in the Bible that says Adam and Eve where the only humans alive at the time. God chose them to live in the garden.

That is a hard question...Um I don't really think we'll ever know the answer to that, but one thing I do know is that Cain was probably in his hundreds, and you never know what can happen in a few hundred years!
