Creation

The second creation story in the Bible starts at Genesis 2:4b (the second sentence in verse 2:4) and continues through verse 2:20. Scholars recognise it as having been written by the early, anonymous source now known as the Yahwist, because of its style, use of a moderately archaic Hebrew language and use of the word Yahweh (YHWH) for his God. In comparison, the first creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a), written by the Priestly Source, is actually much later in Hebrew lore, but was probably placed at the beginning to avoid separating the second creation story from what followed. And no doubt the Priestly Source encountered popular resistance to simply replacing the original story, and had to keep it as well as adding his own version.

As Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says, 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. He cautions us to scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first, and vice versa. Thus, in reading about the origin of man in the story of the Garden of Eden, we must not say or even think that man is here created in God's image or that man is to be the ruler over the animals.

In the second creation story, the dry earth is pre-existing, but no plants grow because God has not yet made it rain. A mist arose and watered the earth, then God created Adam out of clay. It was only after he planted the Garden of Eden and created all living creatures that he created a woman, Eve, by taking a rib of Adam. Compare this to the first creation story, in which God created both man and woman after he had created all other living creatures, simply by speaking them into existence.

No, Cain's mother was Eve.

The word 'Lilith' comes from Isaiah 34:11-14 , and the International Standard Bile Encylopedia has the following to say about it:-

"The term "night-monster"' is a hypothetical translation of the Hebrew term לילית, līlīth, used once only, in Isa_34:14. The word is translated in the King James Version "screech-owl," margin "night monster," the Revised Version (British and American) "night-monster," margin "Lilith." The term "night-monster" is also an interpretation, ....

Concerning this weird superstition, and its strange, single appearance in the Book of Isaiah, Professor Rogers has this to say: "The lil, or ghost, was a night-demon of terrible and baleful influence upon men, and only to be cast out with many incantations. The lil was attended by a serving maid, the ardat lili ("maid of night"), which in the Semitic development was transferred into the feminine lilitu. It is most curious and interesting to observe that this ghost-demon lived on through the history of the Babylonian religion, and was carried out into the Hebrew religion, there to find one single mention in the words of one of the Hebrew prophets" ...

... The term occurs in a list of creatures, the greater part of which are matter-of-fact animals or birds.....Following [other] translation[s] we have: "pelican," "hedge-hog," "horned-owl," "raven," "wild-dog," "ostrich," "forest-demon" (se‛īr), "night-monster." This is a curious mixture of real and imaginary creatures. ... Either all these creatures are looked upon as more or less demonic or, as seems ... far more probable, none in the list is considered otherwise than as supposed literal inhabitants of the wilderness. ...

Since the only source of information that I know about is the Bible, I turned to Genesis 1 & 2 for the answer. As some point out, there seems to be a discontinuity in the sequence of events between the two chapters, leading some to opine various theories. For the sake of simplicity, though, I'll narrow things down to Genesis 1:24-31, and 2:4-23, and ignore the apparent sequencing discontinuities.

Genesis 1:27 indicates that God created man and woman within the span of the "sixth day" (1:31), along with the other land-based creatures. The Genesis 2 account seems to expand upon that with all the various potential helpers for the man, Adam. There wasn't one that was just right, though, for Adam, so Eve was created. Now, if Adam was created before all the beasts, and Eve was created after, and it all happened on the sixth day of creation, the maximum amount of time involved would be about 12 hours -- sunrise to sunset, at least by today's standards.

This all assumes, of course, that the days in Genesis 1 are literal, 24-hour days, with an "hour" and a "day" being of roughly equal length to what we now consider an "hour" and a "day."

ANSWER

Adam was younger than 56 years old when God created Eve, the exact age is not determined.

In Genesis 6 you find that God counts time starting with Noah's birth. Every godly day is 1000 years acording to Peter. So God counts time in weeks of thousands of years. So, the Sabbath that followed Eve's creation must have finished with Noah's birth, which happened 1056 years after Adam's birth if you count the beggetting ages mentioned in Genesis. Therefore, if Eve was the last creation, she must have been created wihin those 56 years. 5, 10, 30, 40, 50, but no more than 56 years.

As for the time that he spent alone, it must have been quite a bit, since he was given the task of naming all the edenic animals that were being created and brought to him.

Within those 56 years, there is no way to know how long it took god to create Eve.

Genesis 1 does teach that Adam and Eve were both created during the sixth day. Genesis 2 then goes on to explain that part of creation in more detail. As to whether or not the days were actual days, I encourage one to study Exodus 20:9-11. God there commanded the seventh day of the week to be kept as the Sabbath day and no work to be done. His explanation of that command was that God created the world in six days and rested the seventh day. In Exodus 20 God is showing what length the days were. Adam and Eve was created at the same time;

Genesis 1:27 God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

The above statement of Genesis 1 v 27 in its context is more of a general theological statement of what constitutes man as a species than a chronological statement of when the man and the woman were created. It could be summarized by saying 'Man equals a male and a female'. i.e. a male human alone does not fully represent God's image.

The chronological statements are found in the other passages cited above. Adam is commonly understood to have been made after the animals which he was required to name and Eve after that. Eve was thus created according to the detailed account which speaks of it, on the same day on which Adam was made. Thus it didn't take too long to recognize that no animal was an appropriate partner for Adam.

They are not created on the same time, according to the scripture. Adam requested eve as a partner. if Adam was created on the sixth day, he was unable to speak, until he learn something but it will take a couple of days, weeks, months or years.

Jewish answer:

Jewish tradition states that Chava (Eve) was created by God within hours after He created Adam (Talmud, Sanhedrin 38b).

Yes, according to the Bible, Jehovah God created MANY living things.

He created different Kinds or Types of living things.

1) The Bible indicates that the first TYPE of 'living things' God created was 'Angel-Life'. This was a NON-PHYSICAL Form of life; not dependent on the warmth of the sun, or light from the sun. Not limited by the speed of light, or other 'forces' within the Physical Universe.

Then there was a long interum until the next form of 'living things' were created; which allowed God to create the 'physical things' so he could create the next types of living-things; in this new 'physical form'. He created the Universe with its stars, suns, galaxies; and all the forces that bind things in a beauiful syncronized order.

2) Then God chose one planet (earth) and prepared it for the next Form of 'living things.' God created 'Plant-Life'; Vegetation. He filled the earth with these 'living things'.

3) After another interum; God created the Next Type of 'living things': Animal-Life. God invented sex for them (re-production). He filled the earth with these 'living-things', but allowing for them to do some 'filling' also through re-production.

4) Lastly, God created the Last Type of 'living things'. He created these 'in his image'. It's called: Man-Kind. He only made 1 male, and 1 female; and directed THEM to FILL THE EARTH with these types of 'living things'; and thus we have a population of approx 7 billion 'people - living-things' today.

Then the Bible states that God 'rested' from his works.

I suppose that we are now in another 'interum' --- before Jehovah starts to marvel the angels, and mankind, with some future creations; or other marveouls 'works.'

Day by day, God created the universe and its contents (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30).Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b.

• On day 1: God created the universe in general, light, and this Earth. The light was not the same as that of the sun. Rather, it was light that God created before the sun, and which emanated from a point in space without any physical source; like what we might term a "white hole."
  
• On day 2: God created the separation between the Earth and the upper atmosphere.
  
• On day 3: God separated the continents from the oceans, and created plants.
  
• On day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars.
  
• On day 5: God created birds and fish.
  
• On day 6: God created animals and people.
  
• On day 7: God ceased creating, thereby creating the concept of rest.

Seeing God's wisdom

An overview of "day 1" reveals the establishment of the "24-hour day" [one rotation of the earth from sunset to sunset]... distinguishable by the separation of "day" and "night."

"...God called the LIGHT Day, and the DARKNESS He called Night..." (Gen.1:5)

The "light" God created was the first "daylight" portion of the perpetual 24-hour day.

This established "time"... and the Divinely inspired "seven-day week"... the repeated seventh day of which God set aside for man to "remember creation," that could never have been remembered until the first day was made.

"...And the evening [darikness] and the morning [light] were the FIRST [24-hour] DAY." (same verse)
