When Cain went to the land of Nod were the people there aliens?

Question

Seing as how Adam and Eve were the first people and they had not had enough children to populate the earth with a city.

Answer 1

Nah.. just narcoleptics... they were falling asleep all the time... which is why the land was called Nod.

Answer 2

Adam and Eve had many more children than Cain, Abel, and Seth. Genesis 5:4 says that "after Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years," and it also tells us that "he had other sons and daughters." In fact, the genealogy of Genesis 5 records that every descendant of Adam down to Lamech had "other sons and daughters." These other sons and daughters were born to men even older than 187 years. Considering the long life spans recorded in Genesis 5 and assuming that couples remained reproductive for about half their lifetime, the possibility existed for a veritable population explosion. In fact, the world's population could have approached a few billion by the time of Adam's death at the age of 930


if Cain waited to marry until he was about 200 years old, he probably had several women to choose from, providing some migrated eastward to Nod with other family members. If he waited another 200 years to build a city, he could have had at least a few thousand people to help him, again assuming some migration occurred. It is not entirely impossible that Cain had sisters from whom to take a wife even before his banishment and the birth of Seth. The text does not tell us.

Answer 3

Just because the story only talks about one couple why does everyone assume nobody else was around? There were many other stories taking place. The words used in the Hebrew even make this clear.
