What else can I help you with?
What did God make before Adam?
Some look at the first creation account in Genesis (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) and see that man (both male and female) was created last of all, on day six. This account is not the account of the creation of Adam, but was written long afterwards by a different author. It should not be understood as preceding the second creation account (Genesis 2:4b-25) in time.The second creation account says that Adam was created first, although Eve was still the last creation of all. God created nothing before Adam in this account, as every plant was already in the ground before it grew, because God had not caused it to rain upon the earth (Genesis 2:5).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). Nevertheless, he says that we must scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first, and vice versa. To learn about the creation of Adam as it was intended to be understood, we must read the second creation story only.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
What is important about the order of creation in Genesis?
The order of creation in Genesis 1:1-2:4a is important to scholars because it provides further evidence that this account is not really true. This account holds that light was created before the sun, moon and stars; that grass grew before the sun existed; and so on. We now know that light comes from the sun - without it, the Earth would be so cold that even the air would freeze, and in total darkness. And without the sun, grass could not grow.The order of creation in Genesis 1:1-2:4a is so different to that in the second creation account, beginning in Genesis 2:4b, that they must be entirely separate myths. In the first account, man (both male and female) was created at the end of creation, after creation of the animals. In the second account, man (Adam) was created before creation of the animals, while Eve was not created until afterwards.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

What does the story of Adam and Eve say about creation?
A:The story of Adam and Eve is undoubtedly a creation myth, not a true, historical account of creation. Even the differences between this, the second creation story in Genesis, and the first account (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) tell us that the two stories were developed by different people at different times and in different cultures. This account tells us, improbably, that God created Adam then created the animals one by one, trying to find a helpmeet for Adam. It was only when Adam had rejected every other creature as unsuitable for a close companion that God created a female of the species, Eve. This was a story with a hidden moral purpose, not a story of creation.
What was God's message to Adam and Eve during the six days of creation?
A:It is hard to see any connection between the first biblical creation story in Genesis 1:!-2:4a, and the second one which follows. It is in the first creation story that God took six days for creation, but man (both male and female) was only created at the very end of the sixth day as the very last act of creation, after which God rested. In the context of this story, God could not have given Adam and Eve any message during these six days. True, God did create Adam as his very first act of creation in the second creation story, but here there is no mention of six days and Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that we must scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first.Another answerIn Genesis 1:28ff God blesses the man and woman and tells them:- be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth.God gave man a mandate to subdue creation and have dominion over it-to use it but not abuse it.- He has given them every herb and fruit for food.This was not during the first six days man was created on the sixth day

What is the message of the 2 accounts of creation found in the book of Genesis?
The message of the two accounts of creation in the book of Genesis is that God created the world and everything in it.

Together, these accounts teach that God is the ultimate creator and sustainer of all life.
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.
What was the second thing God made?
In the first biblical creation account (Genesis 1:1-2:4a), the first thing that God made was light, then the second thing was the firmament that separated the waters above from the waters below. The firmament was conceived as a dome into which the sun, moon and stars would be placed. We now know that the firmament does not really exist, so the second thing that God made, after separating the pre-existing dry land from the waters, would then have to be grass and then the herbs and fruit trees (1:11)The second biblical creation account (Genesis 2:4a and following) is more primitive, but Adam was the first creation, made from the dirt. God made him into a living soul. The second creation seems to be the garden he planted.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
