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."

The passage in Genesis chapter 1 should not be thought of as other people created by God before he created Adam in Genesis 2: and Eve much later in Genesis 2:22. They are simply two completely different stories from two different sources and written by two different authors.

The first creation account, in Genesis 1:1-2:4a (the first sentence in verse 2:4) is attributed to the Priestly source. The second creation account, in Genesis 2:4b-2:20 is attributed to the Yahwist source. This is why the first account has God creating people, both male and female after he had created everything else, while the second account has God creating Adam before any other creation and Eve last of all.

Was there a Being before Adam and Eve?

When asking what existed before Adam and Eve, it is necessary to avoid mixing science and faith.Science tells us that the Earth is over four billion years old and that humans have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Since a literal reading of the Book of Genesis implies that Adam and Eve were created only six thousand years ago, a literal answer to this question is that everything, even humans, existed long before Adam and Eve.However, putting science aside, Adam and Eve were part of the first creation in the second creation story in Genesis. The first creation story in Genesis says that everything was created shortly before man was created, both male and female. The second creation story says that Adam was created first, then the beasts of the earth, then Eve was created from Adam's rib.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

Were there any animals before Adam and Eve?

A purely biblical answer from the second creation story in Genesis, is that creation of Adam was the first act of creation and that all the animals were created after him. Eve was created last of all, after all the animals, because Adam had not been able to find a suitable companion among the animals that God brought to him.Another biblical answer from the first creation story in Genesis (verses 1:1-2:4a), is all the animals were created before the first people (both male and female) were created.A historical and scientific answer is that there were animals and even people millions of years before the time attributed to Adam and Eve.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation


God did not create men and women as solitary beings rather god created human persons as social beings?

If you were to read the book of Genesis, you'd find that God himself created man, Adam, not to be by himself, but found that Adam needed companionship. God then created woman from the rib of Adam's body, and her name was Eve. This proves that God intended humans to be social beings.
