::::The Biblical account is not always in chronological order (just as some movies are not; they often have flashbacks, etc.), and sometimes jumps large periods of time. The people in Nod were the descendants (children, grandchildren, etc.) of Adam and Eve (they must have been, as Eve was the "mother of all living" and Adam is the ultimate human ancestor of us all). These events clearly must have taken place after many years had passed, and the population had time to grow.

:::::But in this case it is in chronological order. It's pretty clear from the Bible that Adam and Eve did not start having many children until Seth was born, and that Seth was born after Cain was exiled. [[User:Tomservo|Tomservo]] 06:53, 22 June 2007 (EDT)
