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.

What was placed east of the Garden of Eden to keep us away from the Tree of Life?
In this story, cherubim were placed east of the garden, to block the way back to the Tree of Life. The translators of the King James version did not realise that 'cherubim' was already the Hebrew plural of 'cherub', so inadvertently made it a double plural.
Images of cherubs have been found thoughout much of the ancient Near East since the Bronze Age and were usually associated with carrying the enthroned deity (see the cherubs in Exodus, mounted on the Ark of the Covenant, on either side of the mercy seat of God). The most magnificent powers in the creaturely world are combined in the cherubs, which are a composite of a lion (the body), a bird (eagle or vulture wings), and a human (the face). As those who carry the throne, these hybrid creatures reflect the nature of the figure who is enthroned above them.
How many children did Adam have?
Adam may have had at least sevenchildren. Specifically, he had three sons: Cain [4:1], Abel [4:2], and Seth [4:25]. Additionally, Adam was described as having fathered daughters and sons other than Seth, Cain, and Abel [5:4]. The plural form was used. So it may be guesstimated that Adam was the father of at least two daughters, and at least two sons other than his three eldest.
Did Eve eat the apple before or after having children?
They both ate the fruit. Eve was first, then she told Adam to eat the fruit also, and he agreed to.

Did God create a female with a spirit of a woman or man?
This is a good question. The Bible created man in image. This was a easy task for god. The surgery God gave Adam to Adam to remove the rib was a an easy task to God. Since the woman needed to bring ideas to men, God gave an disctive mind to all women. There is a old saying that reads thus: Behind a dintistive gentlemen is a women behind.
What problems did Eve cause for women when she ate the apple?
She gained knowledge, and knew the difference between good and evil. She wanted her husband to have the knowledge as well, so she offered fruit from the tree to him as well. After that, Adam and Eve were kicked out of Eden, and had to work and learn in order to survive, rather than having it relatively easy in the Garden. Some people think that this was a total loss for the entire human race and some people think it helped us overall to grow and learn.

This is what's called a "geometric progression". Take a checkerboard and put a penny on the first square. Put two pennies on the 2nd square and twice that many on the 3rd square -- that's 4. Double it again, that's 8 pennies on the 4th square, 16 on the 5th, 32 on the 6th, 64 on the seventh and 128 on the 8th. That's one row down and 7 rows to go. See how fast those pennies pile up?

Did God Ever Appear to Adam in the Garden?
Yes, God appeared to Adam in the Garden. After the Fall, Adam hid himself when called by God. ---- No, Allah(God) Almighty never appeared to Adam pbuh,. The Messenger described Allah, as "His veil is Light, if He unveils it, the Light of His Face will burn all what His Sight reaches (which is everything!)" [Muslim]
Quran 6:103 "No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision..." (When the people of Paradise will be gathered in a beautiful place) So the Lord - Blessed and Exalted - will laugh to them and say: 'O People of Paradise! Where are those who used to obey Me without having ever seen Me? This is the Day of Increase!'
So, they will all give the same response: 'We are pleased, so be pleased with us!' So, He will say: 'O People of Paradise! If I were not pleased with you, I would not have made you inhabitants of My Paradise! So, ask of Me!' So, they will all give the same response: 'Show us your Face so that we may look at it!' So, the Lord - Mighty and Majestic - will remove his covering and will majestify them and will cover them with His Light, which, if Allaah - the Exalted - had not Willed not to burn them, would have burned them. So, how sweet is this speech to the ears, and how cooled are the righteous eyes by the glance at His Noble Face in the Afterlife…
What were the original duties given to Adam and Eve?
The Bible lays out God's expectations for Adam and Eve at Genesis 1:26-31.
"...God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground."(Genesis 1:28 NIV) So God expected the first human couple to care for their earthly home(Genesis 2:8+15), have children and fill the earth with their family(Genesis 3:20)(Acts 17:26). They were expected to live forever and to enjoy the wonderful gift of a paradise garden, expanding it to fill the earth. The only reference to death is made as a consequence of disobedience.(Genesis 2:16-17 / Genesis 3:2-3). Though Adam could have lived forever, he chose to rebel, and died at 930 years old(Genesis 5:5)(1 Timothy 2:13+14) .

What is the fruit generally called which Adam and Eve ate?
Many people refer to it as an apple, but it is not actually known if it was a fruit known to us today. The Bible itself does not call it an apple. It is referred to as the fruit of 'the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.'
Was Cain half Human half Serpent?
No, there are no zoomorphic or mixed Human-animal monsters in the portion of the Bible where the Genesis narrative appears. It is clear that Man was created in the Image of God- Imago Dei, and He would not create mixed Human-animal creatures-which were alas- common in many mythologies such as the Centaur, Sphinx, etc.
How did Adam and Eve feel after they ate?
They received the knowledge of good and evil (i.e. the ability to know the difference between right and wrong) and for the first time in their life felt guilt. Guilt both for allowing themselves to be tricked and for breaking the only "law" that God had given them up to that time (i.e. not to eat that one type of fruit). They also became embarrassed for the first time in their lives, because they were naked and hid from God so that he could not see them (although that was the only way he had seen them before that as that was how they were created by God and it did not bother them before this).
