People. Either G-D made a human being that was both male/female and separated them later into two sexes, or G-D made man on the 6th day and made a woman from one of Adam's ribs later on. People were made last, which is ironic considering that humans only made a relativity recent appearance on the Earth, in the last million years or so, which is very recent from a planet that has been in existence for 5 billion years.
What happened to the tomb of Eve?
There is no record in the Old Testament of the death of Eve. That she died somewhere near the Garden of Eden is probably true, and the location of her grave site is lost to history.
Did Seth son of Adam and Eve have any daughters and what were their names?
he might have had daughters or he didnt we dont know and then the names are defenitely not known
If earth is 5 billion years old why don't people believe it?
The best answer I can think of (and undoubtedly the most controversial) is religion. Some religions state that the Earth was created approximately 4000 years ago along with the rest of the universe. I am neither agreeing with or discrediting religions that state this, only pointing out that they contradict what some scientific discoveries (such as the results of carbon dating) have proclaimed.
What was Adam's excuse for his sin?
The answer is found in Genesis when God confronted Adam and Eve after their sin:
Genesis 3:12 Then the man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
Adam said it was the woman's fault.
How are Pandora and eve different?
Eve, made by God from Adam's rib.
Pandora, the first mortal woman made by Hephaestus, son of Zeus - for the Titan god Epimetheus (Afterthought).
Eve, Adam's wife - had Cain and Abel.
Pandora, wife of Epimetheus - had Pyrrha.
Eve ate of the Tree of Good and Evil, planted by God. She then knew of Evil and Good: hence "Fruit of Knowledge".
Pandora opened the storage jar (Pithos) which Zeus had gifted to her and Epimetheus for a wedding present. Releasing all evils upon the world/mankind, save hope which remained in the jar.
Pandora's daughter Pyrrha married Deucalion and were the first king and queen of Northern Greece.
Adam and Eve lived in Eden, and where cast out.
Pyrrha and Deucalion survived the Great Deluge (a Flood) which Zeus had sent to rid the world of the wicked men and women of the Bronze Age.
Cain killed Abel.
Pyrrha and Deucalion repopulated the world by throwing "the bones of the mother" (rocks) - in this way the rocks thrown by Pyrrha were women and the rocks thrown by Deucalion men.
Quite a lot of differences.

The Tree of Knowledge existed as an actual (physical) tree in the Garden of Eden
Genesis 2:9 -
And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Christians believe that the Bible is inspired and inerrant (without error) as evidenced by archaeological discoveries. Most Christians believe in faith that provides rationale for their viewpoints.
Hebrews 11:1 -
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

A body cannot go to heaven; because in Revelation 12; God threw the Almighty Flesh from Heaven; which is the same almighty flesh today of Satan and Adam and Eve; the Serpent of Old; The Dragon and the Cunning Beast of Evil; Death and Sin!
Who is the firstborn from the dead and the last Adam?

Who was the first person to be killed in a car crash?
In the US, it was Henry Hale Bliss in New York City on 14 September 1899. ---- However, the first person world-wide who died as a result of being hit by a car (not in a car crash) was Mrs Bridget Driscoll, a 44 year old pedestrian of Croydon, Surrey. As she and her daughter May crossed the road on the grounds of the Crystal Palace on 17 August 1896, a car being driven by Arthur James Edsall of Upper Norwood approached. According to witnesses, the car hit Mrs Driscoll "at tremendous speed", about 6 kilometres per hour. The inquest into Mrs Driscoll's death lasted for about 6 hours, after which the jury returned a verdict of "accidental death". No prosecution was made. It is rather ironic that the coroner at the inquest, Percy Morrison, stated, "This must never happen again."

Why did lucifer manipulate Adam eve to eat the appels in the garden of eden?
Satan's presence here upon the earth is to tempt man away from the teachings of Christ and to turn our attention to the things of the world, wealth, sin and greed and all that is contrary to the will of God. Satan wishes us to be as miserable as himself, to cause misery to those who follow the teachings of Christ.
If Adam and Eve had not partaken of the forbidden fruit then we would not be here. They would have remained in the garden of Eden to this present day and for ever after, not knowing good from evil, not being able to progress. They would have continued to have lived in a state of ignorance and Satan would have destroyed the plan which God had for his children.
Eve was not ignorant when she partook of the fruit for she saw in it the only way whereby they could keep the commandment to multiply and replenish the earth. Adam also saw the wisdom of this so followed Eves action. By doing so the plan of Satan was destroyed. He and his Angels would have to tempt all of mankind that world be born of Adam and Eve. So far he is winning the battle, for the angels of darkness seem to be more zealous than the angels of light.
First Eve did not partake of an apple in the garden.. Read Genesis 3, she had sexual relations with the serpent (identified in Revelation 12). Cain was the result of Eve fooling around with the serpent (tree of good and evil in the garden), Christ will identify the serpents offspring in John 8. The punishment given Eve, Genesis 3, fits the sin she committed with the serpent.
Did God say to Adam and Eve that man would have control over woman?
No, at least not in the first creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a). In this creation story , God created man (both male and female), and gave them both dominion over the earth (Genesis 1:27-28). Here there is no suggestion of one gender being dominant over the other.
In the second creation story (Genesis 2:4bff), God created woman as a companion for the man. There is here an underlying hint that the man is to be dominant, but nothing stated. Eve is very much the dominant character in this story, not only as the one who took the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, but as the one who would give birth. 'Knowing' his wife is Adam's only deed reported in the story.
