Since the only source of information that I know about is The Bible, I turned to Genesis 1 & 2 for the answer. As some point out, there seems to be a discontinuity in the sequence of events between the two chapters, leading some to opine various theories. For the sake of simplicity, though, I'll narrow things down to Genesis 1:24-31, and 2:4-23, and ignore the apparent sequencing discontinuities.

Genesis 1:27 indicates that God created man and woman within the span of the "sixth day" (1:31), along with the other land-based creatures. The Genesis 2 account seems to expand upon that with all the various potential helpers for the man, Adam. There wasn't one that was just right, though, for Adam, so Eve was created. Now, if Adam was created before all the beasts, and Eve was created after, and it all happened on the sixth day of creation, the maximum amount of time involved would be about 12 hours -- sunrise to sunset, at least by today's standards.

This all assumes, of course, that the days in Genesis 1 are literal, 24-hour days, with an "hour" and a "day" being of roughly equal length to what we now consider an "hour" and a "day."

ANSWER

Adam was younger than 56 years old when God created Eve, the exact age is not determined.

In Genesis 6 you find that God counts time starting with Noah's birth. Every godly day is 1000 years acording to Peter. So God counts time in weeks of thousands of years. So, the Sabbath that followed Eve's creation must have finished with Noah's birth, which happened 1056 years after Adam's birth if you count the beggetting ages mentioned in Genesis. Therefore, if Eve was the last creation, she must have been created wihin those 56 years. 5, 10, 30, 40, 50, but no more than 56 years.

As for the time that he spent alone, it must have been quite a bit, since he was given the task of naming all the edenic animals that were being created and brought to him.

Within those 56 years, there is no way to know how long it took god to create Eve.

Genesis 1 does teach that Adam and Eve were both created during the sixth day. Genesis 2 then goes on to explain that part of creation in more detail. As to whether or not the days were actual days, I encourage one to study Exodus 20:9-11. God there commanded the seventh day of the week to be kept as the Sabbath day and no work to be done. His explanation of that command was that God created the world in six days and rested the seventh day. In Exodus 20 God is showing what length the days were. Adam and Eve was created at the same time;

Genesis 1:27 God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

The above statement of Genesis 1 v 27 in its context is more of a general theological statement of what constitutes man as a species than a chronological statement of when the man and the woman were created. It could be summarized by saying 'Man equals a male and a female'. i.e. a male human alone does not fully represent God's image.

The chronological statements are found in the other passages cited above. Adam is commonly understood to have been made after the animals which he was required to name and Eve after that. Eve was thus created according to the detailed account which speaks of it, on the same day on which Adam was made. Thus it didn't take too long to recognize that no animal was an appropriate partner for Adam.

They are not created on the same time, according to the scripture. Adam requested eve as a partner. if Adam was created on the sixth day, he was unable to speak, until he learn something but it will take a couple of days, weeks, months or years.

Jewish answer:

Jewish tradition states that Chava (Eve) was created by God within hours after He created Adam (Talmud, Sanhedrin 38b).

Did Adam really come before eve?

Well technically before she was named Eve her official name was "Adam's rib" but she thought that was too long and when she became a real human girl because God wanted a friend for Adam she became known as Eve ... because God said so and I believe that's a good enough reason for anything.


Who are the people created on the 6th day?

The Bible states that Adam was created on the 6th day. One may read about God creating Adam as, initially, the only human being. In mankind's earliest beginning, no Eve was to be found. "But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him," beginning in Genesis 2:20. It is not known how long Adam remained alone, but at this time he was single, isolated, and the only human being anywhere.

What is Dr Charles Stanley view on the theory of Adam not being the first human created that there was a race before him?

A:I am unfamiliar with any theory of a race created before Adam and Eve. Dr Charles Stanley of the Southern Baptist Church holds a traditionalist view that Adam and Eve were the first human family. Science and history jointly offer a third position. They say that humans evolved long before the time attributed to Adam and Eve. The first humans did not live 'before' Adam and Eve, because Adam and Eve never really existed.
