Gen 1 and Gen 2 are to opposing accounts of different creation stories, vegetation, order of mankind created equally or out of place with animals, stars somehow didn't eminate light, many conflicting versions
ATUM is Kemetic for "first man"
most of the OT is symbolic and not to be taken literally
The Adam and Eve story for instance, is a prime example of age-old "typology" corrupted into an historical event. The first human is said to be Adam with his first consort being Eve [though in later Jewish literature he had a first wife named Lilith]. Now in many Jewish texts the names Adam and Eve are written using lowercase letters because these were not actual historical people. This Jewish myth - or rather this Jewish version of the myth - was simply their way of explaining the origins of man as well as explaining their cultural practices [such as the way women are to be regarded in that particular society]. We will attempt to look behind the literal images of such figures as Adam by applying Massey's method of linking biblical names with their Kemetic roots. Adam is said to be the first man in the image of God, the father of mankind, the completion of creation. He is also the Kemetic ATM/ATUM, defined conversely as the first god in the image of Man and mankind's father.
The root of ATM is TM [TEM/TUM], which has several meanings, i.e. "mankind", "people", "completion". ATUM is the complete Divine Man. A cognate root of TEM is DEM, which means, "to name", as the biblical Adam was the namer of animals. Note also with reference to the Great Year that Genesis represents not only the creation of the cosmos but also the beginning of a new cosmic time-cycle. The Great year begins in the Age of Leo [circa 10,000 BCE]; ATUM is the lion-faced one, who creates Shu and Tefnut, also represented in lion forms. Another parallel we should take note of is that in Hebrew adam is "adu-mah" (clay like/ made of clay); the Kemetic deity Khnum - who is shown as a Ram - is depicted sitting at a potters wheel fashioning the gods out of clay. Then we have Adam's consort Eve [Heb. CHAVVAH/HAVVAH] seduced by the serpent in the Tree of Life. The Kemetic Great Mother Serpent is HEFA; the name also means "fruit" - as in the fruit of Life. Our biblical Genesis is taken from the funerary rituals of Kemet. The parallels do not end there; the Garden of Eden [Heb. ADN], the mythical land where they are created is also represented as the great enclosure in religious motifs while in Kemetic, DEN means "enclosure". When Adam and Eve are cast out of Eden and settle in the land of Nod. Nod is NUD in Kemet ["outside of/away from"].
Their first two children, Cain and Abel, are the warring twins so prominent in the Kemetic Mysteries [Yusir/Set]. But more than that Cain/QAYIN [Heb], who strikes down and kills Abel, is identified with the Kemetic Set and the word QEN which means, "to strike down". Abel/HABL [Heb] is rendered in Egyptian as HAB-IR - "feast" or "rite"; we can see the parallel to Abel who offers a lamb to god in a ceremonial ritual. Note also that the Hebrew beliefs come at the time when the Kemetic Great Year's Age of the Ram which begins circa 2218 BCE.

I think you need to explain your question a bit more. One could say God has many creations in that god created people , animals, the sky, the sea and so on. And with each new day God continues to create. Or one may say that God created just once and that was to create a universe that is capable of perpetuating creation.

God created all things. Man was his greatest creation. God created man in His image. He called him Adam. From one of Adams ribs, He created a companion for Adam so they can be fruitful and multiply. He called her Eve.
Read Genesis

Adam is not only the proper name of the first man, but it also loosely translates as "mankind". Genesis 1:27
Just like the English word "man" could refer to an individual, or to the human species as a whole.
(Actually, "adam" means formed from the red earth).

by no capacity! you're able to evaluate the Norse introduction narrative. "After the Frost Giants emerged from the ice, Buri regarded. He beget Bor. Bor and Bestla had 3 sons: Odin became the 1st, Vili the 2nd, and Vé the third. on a similar time as jogging alongside the sea shore the sons of Bor got here upon 2 wood, and from them they created a guy and a woman. Odin gave the guy and the female spirit and existence. Vili gave them information and the capacity of circulate. Vé gave them clothing and names. the guy became named Ask [Ash] and the female Embla [Elm?]. From Ask and Embla have sprung the races of adult men who lived in Midgard." it is extremely plenty greater interesting then any of the midsection jap religions. genuinely the religion of the genuine believers is basically almost as good almost as good. the component right this is that there are hundreds of introduction narratives.All of then have or had genuine believers. precisely and specifically, please clarify why Genesis is the only "maximum suitable" one? The unusual ingredient is most of the creationist dogmas comprise evolution and organic selection. Theistic is one occasion. people who stick to the Genesis account many times could argue that "day" interior the account isn't comparable to we propose a " day" of 24 hours. Then there are people who say Genesis is an allegory or metaphor of what take place. It many times seems the notice of God is getting scrambled. So how does Genesis clarify how the Koala undergo have been given to Australia? we are finding for the passage that talks on the topic of the criiter getting off the Ark and then it is experience to the Land Down below. we would particularly opt to understand abut the way it crossed the Wallace Line. the component is that there is no longer purely 2 solutions. once you get to the introduction narratives are not all of them purely a valid?

There are two accounts of the creation of man chapt. 1 and the ending of the creation and the start of the garden of Eden.
The roman pontiff who said the earth is only x amount of years old, counted only the years recorded in the books that he had... However if he would have got hooked on Phoenix and not power, he would have read in the old testament, the books were either lost, destroyed and if the books were there in front of the people, they were ignored..
Jesus Himself said His teachings would be changed..
I have one page so far on the web to explain Jesus' true ministry, your not going to believe it when you read it but it is true I can prove it..

Acording to the Bible He made Adam out of the dust of the earth and then he made him a helpmate Eve from one of Adams ribs. So I say it was 2 creations.
