How long was Adam alone before God created Eve?
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).
How did God feed the children of Israel when they were in the wilderness?
One of the great puzzles of the story of the Exodus is that the Israelites complained bitterly to Moses that they had no food (Exodus 16:3), yet they had rich herds of cattle.
Answer
Because, the cattle and sheep is reserved for offerings for the LORD. Exodus 20:24, 29:11-17
Answer:
God gave them manna in order to teach certain lessons (Deuteronomy ch.8). In order to at least partially unravel the riddle of their complaints, see this link:

How old would Moses be if he were still alive?
For this question it is best to look in the Hebrew Bible for any evidence of Moses' life. According to Genesis, Moses' grandfather, Kohath, was alive at the time of the migration of the Israelites to Egypt and lived 133 years, while Moses' father, Amran, lived 137 years. The Bible says that the Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt, and an analysis of the biblical genealogies suggests that Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt around 1440 BCE. That means that the journey to Egypt would have taken place about 1870 BCE. We do not know how old Kohath was when he went to Egypt, but if he and his son Amran were capable of fathering a child at any time between puberty and the year of their deaths, then Moses was born between about 1855-1600 BCE. Moses would therefore be about 3,600 to 3,855 years old if he were alive today.
Or, if we work backwards from Moses' reported death in about 1400 BCE, at 120 years old, then Moses would be about 3535 years old if he were alive today.
Another tradition supported by some Jews is that he lived even more recently and would be about 3400 years old if he were alive today.
You see, the problem is that we have no reliable information on Moses, and have to rely on guesswork and assumptions. For more information about Moses, please see: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/moses-in-history-and-tradition

How many Psalms did Moses write?
"Psalms is a book, so technically, Solomon wrote a fraction of a book of Psalms." Yes, however, I think the intention of the question is how many Psalms did Solomon write. Psalm means song. From the book of Psalms, Solomon wrote 72 and 127. However, we are told in 1 Kings 4:29-34 that Solomon wrote 1,005 songs. We only two songs (Psalm 72 and 127) in the Old Testament unless you also count the book, the Song of Solomon, as the third.
What led to the acceptance of bio genesis?
The acceptance of biogenesis, the principle that living organisms arise from preexisting living organisms, was largely influenced by the experiments of Louis Pasteur in the mid-19th century. Pasteur's swan-neck flask experiment demonstrated that sterilized broth remained free of microorganisms unless exposed to air containing them, refuting the idea of spontaneous generation. This experiment provided strong evidence in support of biogenesis and helped shift scientific consensus away from the earlier theory of abiogenesis. Additionally, advancements in microbiology and the discovery of cells and their reproductive processes further solidified the acceptance of biogenesis in the scientific community.
