Scripture for how many people were on the earth? Do the math!
Adam died (and yes, I'm a math whiz) just 57 years after Noah was born. There were over half a million people on the earth when Noah started building the ark almost 500 years later. Noah was the last man to live as long as he did. His sons and those thereafter didn't live much longer than 120.
Adam through Noah, those people lived to see 8-10 generations after them. The numbers are exponential as to their direct descendants alone. Spread that family tree out farther as more people arrived on the earth and you get into the massive thousands quickly.
I knew a woman who lived to see five generations or her family. In total, she had over 500 descendants, over 200 of them being great-grandchildren. She only had 10 kids herself.
If one women and one man can produce that many in less than 100 years today, just imagine what Adam and Eve alone did in 1000 years!
Consider that only the eldest son of each bloodline is mentioned after Seth. However, there were countless other people involved that aren't mentioned. Noah had brothers and sisters. NONE of them were in the ark. Not a one.
However, interesting to note is that the bloodline mentioned before Noah had died before the flood happened, even his own father. I'm speaking only of those who are named in Genesis 6.
You also need to understand that the first 6 or 7 chapters of Genesis go back and forth in time. This is evidenced by chapter 6 reflecting on things that took place in the previous chapters, but speaks as if it didn't happen until chapter 6.

Lol, oh this is comical! Math proves nothing, scripture proves nothing, only Joelel proves anything.
Unfortunately, it's not what he wants to prove.......

You are showing your lack of intelligence in this post. I got my numbers from the Bible. Where did you get yours?
Where did Cain get a wife and the people to start building a city ? Adam and Eve didn't have more children until after Cain knew his wife and built a city.Gen.4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. Genesis 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew

Already answered for the third time.
Second just because Genesis gives Cain's geneology before giving Adam and Eves or Seths or anyone elses does not mean that is in chronological order

The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
