could you please help enlighten me.
Is the bible older than the quran and are there similarities in some of the stories?
Thank you

You have google too.
But the short answer is YES, the truth is that some Arabs basically took the bible and rewrote it. But both ultimately stem from the Hebrew old testament god of Yahweh. But prior to Yahweh being a monotheistic god of the Hebrews, it was a lesser god of a "Divine Family" in the Canaanite pantheon.
All holy books are are the comic book reflections of the cultures of antiquity. Religion competes like Coke and Pepsi compete. An upstart sees the traditions, borrows from those stories and creates a new soda company.
