If, in fact, only Adam and Eve existed, then who was Cain afraid might kill him? It would not be his mom and dad as they would have already killed him if they were going to. Cain knew there were many people in the lands around them. This fact is verified by God in His response to Cain in Genesis 4:15; "And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven fold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him."
