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.

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..."
The first woman (identified as Lilith 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 the first creation story in Genesis (Genesis 1:1-2:4a), man is created to be master over all (Genesis 1:28).In the second creation story in Genesis (Genesis 2:4b-25), man is created to be the servant of the earth (Genesis 2:5, 15).
In the Bible, the creation of man is first mentioned at Genesis 1:26. The creation of the first woman at Genesis 2:18 This first man is called by name at Genesis 3:17 The first woman is named by the man at Genesis 3:20
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.
God said "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." "…God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them" (Genesis Ch 1)
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.
According to Genesis 1:24-30 God created beasts, cattle, creeping creatures, man, woman, and human world domination.
You should look in the Bible, at the beginning of Genisis. It wouldn't hurt to find out for yourself, because the Bible is fun to read!Answer:In the traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam (Abrahamic Faiths) Adam was the first man.The first woman is a bit more difficult to pin down.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.)
Genesis 1 : 2....GOD created man in His own image. I agree.
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.
Only once as is grammatically correct for the phrase 'created man.' Some have attempted to read the accounts in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 as two separate accounts - it is not 2 but 1. It is simply because Genesis 1 is an outline of the renewing of the Earth and the flora and fauna for the 'reign of man' which would begin with Adam and Eve. Genesis 2 is a complementary and supplementary continuance of the event mainly from Adam's perspective.Some people have come to believe that the creation accounts in Genesis 1 and 2 contradict each other. These people believe there is more than one creation account and point to Genesis 1 describing animals being created before Adam, while Genesis 2:19 'could be read' as if Adam had been created before the animals. But the Bible never contradicts itself, because it was inspired by God. Genesis 2:19 doesn't mean that God created Adam first and then the animals. The correct chronological (day-to-day) sequence of events is stated in chapter 1 but not in chapter 2. The content of chapter 2 is a complement and supplement to chapter 1. God means for us to combine the content of the two chapters to get a more complete picture of what happened and why.
