questioning if christianity is correct in its time line?
to put it basically, if i remember my bible studies correctly, there has always been followers of god since the beginning, adam and eve, but according to our known history, judaism did not arise till well after Babylon and ancient Samaria had already come and gone, how can this be?
I’m not certain what you mean by "come and gone" but both Babylon and Samaria were continuously occupied well past the rise of Judaism. Babylon until at least the 7th century AD, and Samaria up to this very day.

Those who knew Yahweh, go all the way back to Adam and Eve, an unbroken line.
Later "belief systems" are all false.
The TRUTH is that JESUS is Yahweh! Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much!
And the Trinity is true!
The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to hell, is by believing in Jesus for His free gift of salvation, believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died on the cross for all our sins as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe in Jesus for His free gift of salvation, and you will be in heaven, no matter what!
Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe in Jesus to save you! It is impossible to lose or "leave" salvation (John 6:39-40, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13).
Please pray now: "Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross to pay for my sins and that You rose from the dead, and I thank You for eternal life!" You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die!

Noah was before Babylon, and he was a follower of God. Enoch was before Noah, and he was a follower of God. There have always been righteous people, even if only a few.

The Bible isn’t a science nor history book. The idea that it’s the oldest religion was through ethnocentric thinking within the religion.

Judaism itself knows of believers before and alongside it.
You discount Adam and Ever but that is the main point of the story, that the present God is that same God, the Creator.
