According to the bible, in Genesis 26, “On the sixth day God made man....”
On the seventh day he rested.
After that was the Garden of Eden, then God made Adam and Eve.
So how come everyone thinks Adam and Eve were the first People?

O_o
you're misunderstanding things
got made MAN aka Adam .. on the 6th day
and eve wasnt created until later..
God took a rib from Adam and made Eve with it a little after adam was created because God saw that Adam was lonely

The Genesis 1 account of creating man its in following the order in which things were created. The Genesis 2 account is a detailed account of the creation of man. Its like me describing my events of the day, I got up, got a shower, had breakfast and then I went to work. For breakfast I had bacon and eggs....
See now I give a detailed account of my breakfast, this doesnt mean that I had breakfast twice or that it happened after work. Understand?

try reading it again from the beginning... In chapter 1 the 7 day creation is just merely stated ... when you get to chapter 2 he back tracks just a hair so he can give more detail about his creations. Read it carefully the key is in vs 3,4,5 of chapter 2... hope this helps

Maybe you need to recheck that. Gen. 26 deals the Isaac and Abimelech.

We're nitpicking with metaphor and mythology; it's all symbolic and to concentrate on the literalness is like reading 'Animal Farm' and then trying to go out and find talking animals.
