When it says that Cain killed Abel and then fled to the land of Nod where he slept with his wife it says it matter of factly as if there were people already living in the land of Nod among whom one could find a wife. This is, of course, impossible since the only people alive in the world at the time were Adam, Eve and Cain.
Were Adam and Eve the first humans in existence ...
... or simply the earliest known ancestors of the Jews?
Did the Lord create workers and set up the job ...
... or did he create jobs, and set up the worker?
If the Lord really needed Adam to work the plantation,
then who would take care of it after he's fired?
There must have been other people!
