What is the firmament in Genesis chapter one?
Who was the first human being on Earth and when he born?
The concept of the "first human being" is based on the theory of evolution, which posits that modern humans (Homo sapiens) evolved from earlier hominid species. The exact timing and location of the emergence of Homo sapiens are still debated among scientists, but evidence suggests it happened in Africa around 200,000 years ago.

Psalm 90:2 tells us that "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."(KJV)Ps 93:2
**This scripture tells us that God HAD nobeginning and will have no end....He is from 'everlasting to everlasting'. He is completely unique and there is NO ONE else like him. He was not created, he is the creaTOR.
**His FIRST creation was his son, Jesus "...the firstborn of all creation"(Colossians 1:15+16 ASV) "...the beginning of the creation of God" (Revelation 3:14 KJV)
After Jesus was created, God (YHWH), used him to create everything else (Colossians 1:16+17/John 1:3) as God's 'master workman' (Proverbs 8:27-31 ASV/Genesis 1:26/John 17:5).

How much time passed between Adam's creation and God's covenant promise with Moses?

Was there Adam and two Eves in the bible?
If you mean whether there are more men on earth called Adam, and some ladies that are called Eve; then YES there are more than one Adam and more than one Eve.
But if you mean whether in the Bible there are more 'first' humans; then NO. All mankind are offspring stemming from the Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden.
There wasn't one couple called A & E over here starting a human race; and another A & E somewhere else also starting the human race.
The DNA of all humans on earth is 'tagged' with something that identifies us as coming from a common ancestry.
How did the serpent in the Garden of Eden talk to Adam and Eve?
Perhaps the answer is provided by Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis), who says that the Garden of Eden is a purely mythic place, and the story of Adam and Eve should not be regarded as literally true. Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that serpents were a common motif in ancient Near Eastern religions, so why not Judaism?
Answer:
Jesus reveals to us that the "serpent" was and is "a cherub" [angel] called Satan:
"...the great Dragon... that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world..." (Rev.12:9).
"...he laid hold on the Dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan..." (Rev.20:2).
Throughout the Bible... angels are revealed to "speak."
In Ezekiel's "lament" upon the king of Tyrus... he refers to him as "the anointed cherub that covereth" [Ezek.28:14]. A cherub [kar-oob] is one type of God's angels that Ezekiel describes from his vision:
"Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub [ox], the second the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fouth the face of an eagle." (Ezek.10:14 NIV)
"These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River, and I realized that they were the cherubim [plural of cherub]. Each had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what looked like the hands of a man. Their faces had the same appearance as those I had seen by the Kebar River. Each one went straight ahead. (verses 20-22)
Was this what Adam and Eve saw... or did Satan speak to them through "that old serpent" as Balaam was addressed by God through the donkey [Num.22:28]?
It could have gone either way, since the Bible [God's Truth - John 17:17] speaks of talking serpents and asses; plus, we have no problem recognizing "dragons" today as being "serpentine" in appearance.
In any event... Jesus tells us that it wasn't a literal "snake" [as we think of it today] to whom Eve spoke, and was spoken to... but "...that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world...".
Satan does talk.
"...the Lord said unto Satan... Then Satan answered the Lord..." (Job 1:7).
"...the Devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain... and saith unto Him..." (Matt.4:8-9).
"...the Devil said unto Him... And Jesus answered him..." (Luke 4:3-4).
What does the story of Adam and Eve say about creation?
This account tells us, improbably, that God created Adam then created the animals one by one, trying to find a helpmeet for Adam. It was only when Adam had rejected every other creature as unsuitable for a close companion that God created a female of the species, Eve. This was a story with a hidden moral purpose, not a story of creation.
How did the human race begin with only Adam and Eve and 2 sons Cain and Abel?
There were also sisters that are not recorded by name. - Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters in the 930 years of Adam's life. Cain married his sister. And then Seth (the third son - from whose line the savior of the world would come) did the same. It wasn't until a certain poijnt that God told men not to marry family - because in the beginning there was not a problem with blood diseases and stuff. - there weren't enough humans to make the mix convoluted.
Hope this helps.
People are considering leaving Earth for several reasons, including the search for new resources, the desire to escape environmental degradation, and the potential for scientific exploration. Advances in space travel technology have made the idea of colonizing other planets, like Mars, more feasible.

Did Adam and Eve have the same DNA?
If Eve was cloned from Adam, she should have the same DNA, even the XY chromosomes of a man. Even if she was created with female XX chromosomes, she should otherwise have had the DNA of an identical twin to Adam. And all Adam and Eve's descendants should have identical DNA, apart from gradual mutations. These issues should not, however, be taken too seriously in biblical discussions. DNA is in the realm of science, as is the fact that our immediate ancestors evolved hundreds of thousands of years ago.
