Why is woman created with man in Genesis 1 but woman is created out of man in Genesis 2?

The reason for this difference is that there are two quite different creation stories in Genesis, written by two different authors. The first creation story is Genesis 1:1-24a (the first sentence of 2:4) and is believed to have been written by a source now known as the Priestly source. The second is in Genesis 2:4b-2:25 and is believed to have been written by a source now known as the Yahwist source. The creation of man and woman is, of course, not the only difference that scholars note between the two accounts.

What is the correct order of this question was the woman made for the man or man for the woman?
Woman was made for man to be his helpmate(Genesis 2:18). She was created 'for the man'(1 Corinthians 11:7-9)and built from man's rib (Genesis 2:22-23). The scripture at 1 Corinthians 11:12 sums it up by saying:"...the woman is OUT of the man, and the man is THROUGH the woman..."

When God Made woman is she actually a man?
Not possible. In Genesis 1:27-28 God commands them "to multiply and replenish the earth". There were no other people here for Adam to have children with. There was only Eve so she had to be a woman.Another answer:The word woman literally means man with a womb. The word manreally means humankind (no matter the gender). Genesis 1:27: God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Origin of eve from Adams rib. was there a talmudic reference that eve was created to be equal?
No, the opposite case is true. The first woman (identified as Lillith in the Jewish tradition) was created earlier in Genesis from the dust of the Earth like Adam (Genesis 1: 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.) Eve was the woman created from Adams rib. (Genesis 2: 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.) In this set events Lilith was created as Adam's equal and in the same manner as Adam. In the second case Eve was part of a man (indicating his ownership). The purpose of creatig woman was as a help mate for man (his servant or staff) there is no mention of equality.

What are the three theories that seek to explain the origin of man?
The scientific explanation for the origin of man is called the Theory of Evolution'.God spoke man (both male and female) into existence as his last act of creation (Genesis 1:27). This is from the first creation account in Genesis.God created a man (Adam) out of moist earth (Genesis 2:7) and later created a woman out of Adam's rib (Genesis 2:2). This is from the second creation account in Genesis.Other religions also have different accounts of their gods creating man.
Who was created first the man or the woman?
In the first creation story in Genesis (verses 1:1-2:4a), men and women were created together in the same final act of creation (Genesis 1:27). Note that the text does not tell us whether there was only one man and one woman, or a number of each.The second creation story in Genesis (verses 2:4b-25) differs in some important ways from the first story. Man (Adam) was created as the first act of creation, then the animals and finally the woman (Eve). In this case, the man was most definitely created before the woman.Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that pious readers, believing that the text cannot contain contradictions, ignore the major disjunctions between the two creation stories and tend to treat the second story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man and woman) that the first story simply reported, and therefore ignore the sequence of creation found in the first story.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
