Did God create Adam & Eve being that there were already people on Earth?

And you are unkind to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for disrespecting and ignoring the true literal Word of God in the Holy Bible.

Please focus responses upon the subject at hand and refrain from personal attacks.

It seems to me that many self-righteous Christians believe themselves to have an infallible understanding of every word of the Bible(s) and believe that those whose understanding differs are deceived by Satan. 

The same applies here, my friend. Personal attacks invariably result in topics being shut down. I understand that things can get heated, and the following is an excellent rule of thumb:

If you're upset, step away and only respond when you're not.

I agree completely. Doctrinal discussions aren't for everyone.

Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying but if we can't believe the whole Bible then what are we doing?

(Nothing against you :)

The point is thus: how others conduct themselves is not the issue; rather, how we conduct ourselves is our primary concern. That is understandably difficult for many to grapple with, but it's worth the effort.

Even scientists tell us the entire human race is descendent from one man and one woman, (which came from man, Gen 2).

Scientists have told us many things over the millenia that turned out not to be true. I respect some of them and their findings as evidenced by my sharing of their "discoveries" of Neanderthals, but I don't take their pronouncements as canon.

Arrogant people sometimes need to be humbled. Besides, creating a clique on message boards and insulting others can dissuade others from participating. Therefore, it's better to humble the self-righteous know-it-alls. Otherwise we become a cult reliant on the opinions of a few member bullies rather than on the word of God.

Some parts of the Bible are a bit mysterious, at least to me. I enjoy the opportunity to explore those mysteries and to expand and even modify my own understanding. Of course I also acknowledge that I won't understand many parts until I am in Heaven. In the meantime, it can be fun and rewarding to discuss. Nobody should be impolite with another for seeking a greater understanding. 

Matthew 18:10

10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Your argument is based on a false presumption, that being that there were other people on earth, when in reality there were not, Genesis is very very clear that Adam and Eve were the first people. The first of their kind. 

So that is why God created Adam and Eve, because there wasn't any humans.
