in the bible there are two creation stories which one is right?

Question

in one stories adam and eve are created at the same time and the other stating adam was created and grew lonely so god created eve from adam rib which one is right? and how could the bible be wrong but how can these two stories be the same story ? please try your best to answer my question i used to be christian but it was question like these that no one else could answer that turned me to paganism

Answer 1

No, Eve was not created with Adam. There is the legend of Lilith, the first woman, she refused to do what Adam told her and she flew off to eventually marry Salathiel (an Angel gone bad) and they had some hellashish creature babies. OOOOOO now the Christians are gonna jump me, they ought to check out how many of each kind of animal was on the ark, and who really killed Goliath, and were did the Sons of Anak come from if all the giants died in the flood. Just a few inconsistencies in that great book. But I believe in what is right, my own version, and if their versions every denomination can be "the way," then so can mine, but only for me! Thanks man, this was fun.

Answer 2

First of all, you ought to understand that your Bible is not intended to be a "how to create your own universe in just six days" technical manual. Even if God were to explain to you exactly how He created the cosmos, you wouldn't be able to understand anyhow. How will you (or I, or anyone else), as a created being, dare to try to explain the Creator, or His methods?

My own opinion, for what it might be worth, is that the story in Genesis 1 is the order of creation...what came first, what next, etc... The story in Gen 2, I think, is more along the lines of a parable...(you know, a story told to teach a lesson, lesson being, Satan is a liar and wants to separate you from God, so watch for him). Parables are, after all, sort of the Lord's m.o. I think the Garden of Eden story is meant to teach us the folly of letting satan lead us into situations we are not equipped to handle alone.

So, now you are a pagan. Well, I can say, child, is "good luck with that." I am very sorry.

You do know, I hope, that God will always welcome you Home, whenever you get tired of wallowing in the pigpen?

Answer 3

I'm not sure which Bibles you're reading but the one I have states that God created the earth, air, water and animals and when he was finished he needed someone to take care of all of it and name the animals so then there was Adam. But because Adam was a mere man and not a god he did get lonley so God created Eve to keep Adam company and pick up the slack when Adam got tired.

Answer 4

There are 2 distinct writers in genesis. This is not the only instance of slightly different stories. They were obviously combined from 2 separate texts. Even the names of God are different Here is El and YHWY. These are not the same being Both are Canaanite deities that existed before the Jews did. El is the father of the Gods and YHWY his son but later the Jews combined them. Its all bull anyway

Answer 5

Both! One refers to general creation in a general timetable, the other to the specific abode of Adam: the Garden of Eden. By studying both accounts there is a lot of science that is amazing. God uses the elements He created in ways to show intellectuals the in-depth principles and laws and commonalities between each.

Answer 6

ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED IN SPIRIT AT THE SAME TIME. ADAM WAS GIVEN A HUMAN BODY BEFORE EVE. IT IS NOT TWO DIFFERENT STORIES BUT RATHER A CONTINUATION OF THE SAME ACCOUNT. REMEMBER THAT GOD HAD FORMED ADAM FROM DUST AND THEN BLEW THE ESSENCE OF LIFE INTO HIM. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS JESUS. THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS IS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD (FROM THE BEGINNING). BUT IT WAS NOT UNTIL LATER ON THAT JESUS WAS GIVEN A HUMAN BODY. BEING BORN OF MARY. I HOPE THIS HELPS. GOD BLESS.

Answer 7

In the Holy Quran, The records are straight, God Created Adam, and from him created his mate, Eve.

Answer 8

Chapter 2 does not introduce a new creation account but is a detailed unfolding of the same information, with emphasis on what happened to creation. The second chapter presupposes the first, and the differences are complementary and supplementary. I do not find them contradictory.
if you ever were truely with God, you still would be.

Answer 9

no - there's one creation story - Genesis 1 covers the story for the whole earth, and chapter two focuses on Adam (mankind in Hebrew) and Eve - a specific creation in the Garden.
by the way, using genetics and DNA, you can make a woman from the genetics of a man, (XX,XY chromosomes) but not vice-versa, so that turned out to be scientifically true.

Answer 10

It's just a story ...it doesn't really matter. If you need to believe in one of them choose your favorite. That's what most folks do when choosing religions. What does Adam and Eve have to do with anything that's relevant anyway?

Answer 11

The first "story" is more of an overview of the timeline. The second "story" is more of a recap with more detail. It is not a second creation story, just a retelling, if you will. You can find the same situation throughout the Gospels, retelling of the same story, with different details included.
