god created Adam from clay (a previously created material) but animals were created out of the blue, god didnt use any previously created materials to create them, so their essence comes directly from god (always according to the bible).
Adam was created from clay and Eve was created from Adam so Eve was created from a creation created by a creation, her essence is even more indirectly linked to god.
ranking:
animals - god creates them directly
Adam - god made clay then from clay made Adam
Eve - god made clay,from clay made Adam, from Adam made Eve.
Is my neighbour right when he says: Women are worst than cockroaches???

Yes. I read that in the bible too. Yes the bible is correct on everything it says. Also according to the bible you should hate gays and have slaves.

Your thinking is all wrong. God made and considers the modern human both male and female equally as His highest form of living creations on Earth He has ever made way over any previous animal He created. God created all species starting with the same clay but then made genetic changes to seperate one from the other.

actually God created man to have domain over the animals, which means man is superior to animals. Eve was created as a champion to man, which in your thinking would make her either equal or just below man, but this is only if the man loves himself as God loves the church. Otherwise all bets are off. As the years have past, many individuals have come to realize that man and woman are equal partners not only in life, but in society as well. BTW, if women are that low on the chain, then your friend seems to have bedded with some pretty low company. Which would make him about a half step above a cockroach.

Are animals superior to men and men superior to women? No way Jose.
You say that God created Adam from clay and then farther down you say God made Adam. God spoke and the seas had their living creatures and he spoke and the land had its living creatures.
Then God took of the earth and MADE man in HIS IMAGE. He then gave MAN dominion over the creatures of the earth.
God seeing that man had no help mate that was right for him on the earth took a rib from the man and again MADE, this time a WOMAN, to be the fit mate for the man. Man kind is the only kind that is made in Gods owe image. We are wondrously, mysteriously and lovingly MADE.

If you can think this could be so, my giving details probably wont help you.
But, I still will answer. The answer to all of this is a loud and strong:
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
God said all humans are created equal, period.
Animals cant even choose for Jesus, so they go pick heaven for a choice over hell.
and for any man to say women are worse than cockroaches, I will pray the Lord will forgive him. God says women are a gift to God for a man, for a mate, and that men are a gift to women for a mate. He calls us to unity together and with Him.
I was married to someone who thought like this and he about destroyed me and the children. Forgiven?? YEs. Absolutely. And I even pray for him to one day find God and be delivered from all the horror he believes in.
But, the answer is NO NO NO NO NO NO NO> Straighten your friend out if possible. God values women, and this man is on dangerous ground with those thoughts. HE can seek forgiveness tho, God is eager to forgive and give a new heart. HE was born of a woman, what a horrible think to say, letalone think.
May God forgive men who think like that.....

That is your take on it, your interpretation of what you've decided the words in the Bible mean.
The Bible is not a science book, nor is it meant to be. The many meanings are spiritual and have to do with our relationship to God. Additionally, it says that God gave man dominion over all the earth and animals. So...no they are not superior to men.
Women and men are of equal value in the sight of God. They each have different roles but both are of the same importance.

The Bible says God created Adam to rule over all animals.
In the days of the Bible, men did rule over women. But most people today do not accept that. Anymore than they accept sacrificing animals, or castrating all the men in a town because you're mad at them.
Your neighbor is wrong to say that about women. There are good women and bad women, just as there are good men and bad men.

No! Think .... How do we able to keep the generation going on? Because of the men? Because of the women? What do you think? Well it needs both men and women is true. But most of all, women is the one do a lot of work begin with the pregnant, and nine month of pregnant, and then giving a birth. Then more and more, way more than men does. I believe in Buddhism (Soka Gakkai International) and even the leader of SGI (SENSEI) says to the men to respect and cherish the women .

No writings ever come at modern out and say that adult males are greater desirable to females individuals, yet study between the lines. Eve became into extremely corrupted by ability of the serpent and tempted Adam to sin together with her. Delilah cut back off all Sampsons hair. study contained in direction of the bible and look at each and every of the cases women individuals have tricked, tempted, and shamed adult males. As a woman i think of we are only greater crafty and unfastened-lively, jointly as adult males are gullible and extremely corrupted :P

Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
This tends to contradict your claim regarding God making animals from nothing.
And as far as the equality of Adam and Eve, there is enough in Scripture to answer this stupid question.

How logic promotes stupidity! Your neighbour is a misanthropist as was Paul and so is very religious as well as self-delusional. Since all life is worth exactly the same thing, its weight in maggot feed, nothing is superior to anything except for vertical positioning.
Don't sweat the details, just treat all life forms the way you want to be treated.
