Did God really make Adam and Eve, or did he make Adam and a woman and she got named Eve after expulsion?

Question

My wife bless her heart, I'm no the train yesterday and am reading the Genesis 2 and 3 again, got into the verse 25 and 26 of Genesis 1. I feel from verse 25 and 26 there could be an arguement for evolution or creationism, amazing how these two verses will be in my mind forever.

Anyway, I read in Genesis 3 that the serpant was talking to the "woman" and in God talking to Adam, Adam said "the woman".
I asked my wife did you know she wasn't Eve in the beginning, she said yes, I love my wife very very smart.

But who named her Eve, God or Adam?

Answer 1

Genesis 3:20 -

20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

Answer 2

You do know that there are TWO versions of this, right? They are both right there before your eyes, the first one in Genesis 1, and the other in Genesis 2. Note that in the first version, both man and woman were created from the ground at the same time, and there is no mention of Adam's rib. In the second version--the one Christians like better--has Adam and all of the animals coming from the ground, but Eve comes from Adam's rib. Thus, the man and the animals are all equal, in the sense of having come from the Earth, but Eve is relegated to being merely an extension of Adam, kind of like an extra limb. The interesting thing is that, when God wanted to give Adam a helper, he first showed him all the animals. Did he expect Adam to choose a mate from one of them?? This story has God looking like a doofus, unable to figure out that Adam would probably want another human being rather than, say, a sheep or a horse. Then he goes, "Well, gee, I guess this ain't gonna work. Hmmm...Oh, I know! I'll make another person for Adam! A female-type person!" But rather than simply conjure up some more mud, he goes through all the bother of doing surgery on Adam.

As for who named Eve, why, that is answered in Genesis 3:20 "Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living." Adam named her, just as he named all the other animals. If you'd read a little bit farther, you would have known this.

Answer 3

That is a good question. It appears that Adam named his wife.

Adam had the job of naming all the animals God created...

Genesis 2:20 (NKJV)
So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.

Eve means, “life.” She was the first woman created and the original ancestor of all people.

Genesis 3:20 (NKJV)
And Adam called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

Answer 4

God created Adam. Then he wanted to give Adam an Help mate. So he put Adam to a deep sleep. He took a rib out of Adam and he created Eve. (Genesis Chapter 2,&3). And When Adam saw her he named her Eve. Got created Eve to be a wife for Adam. But Adam named her . If this Answer does not convice you. I advice you meet with your Pastor. He will best answer it well for you. If you don't have a pastor go to a bible Believing church and ask A Pastor.

God Bless

Answer 5

Genesis 3:20- "After this Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she had to become the mother of everyone living."
So Adam named her.

Answer 6

You should have kept reading ;-)

Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

Genesis 3:20

Answer 7

Adam in Hebrew is "red soil" also "man"and Eve is "life"

Many stories in Sumerian religion appear homologous to stories in other middle-eastern religions.

For example, the Biblical account of the creation of man as well as Noah's flood narrative resemble the Sumerian tales very closely though fragments of the Sumerian myths were written many centuries earlier than the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the Bible.

Answer 8

Adam named her Eve after they had sinned and been banned from the Garden of Eden. Gen. 1:20 says, "After this [the disobedience and consequences] Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she had to become the mother of everyone living."

Answer 9

Adam named her Eve after they were found guilty of eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but before they were banished fron the Garden of Eden.
"And Adam said: This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man." Genisis 2:23

"Then the man said: The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave to me of the tree, and I ate." Genisis 3:12

" To the woman He said: I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children."
Genisis 3:16

"And Adam called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living." Genisis 3:20

There you have it. My suggestion: Get yourself a bible and read it. It would be the best thing you could do for yourself!

Answer 10

Eve was evolution.

Eve differed in the fact that she was not a created being, but one made out of existing material from a man, a rib.

I think Adam named her.
