Ancient near-eastern literature has a style you seem to be unaware of. It often gives a brief account of some event, then goes back over it again in more detail. That accounts for your confusion re. chapters 1 and 2.
Adam and Eve had children - an unknown number - including daughters, so the first marriages were between brothers and sisters, but as Adam and Eve had been created physically perfect, there were no genetic mutations / weaknesses at that time. Also, a huge number of years had passed before Cain was banished and found his wife in a distant land. By that time, humanity had greatly increased in number and spread out in a radius from the Garden of Eden area.
The Bible makes it very plain that Adam was the first created man. You cannot read the 1st two chapters of Genesis without seeing that. But get hold of a Bible Concordance for any translation, and you should find about 22 scripture references under 'Adam', the first created man. I hope this helps.

Those two different "man Creation" stories are what causes the controversy of Adam's first wife. This is more like gossip for theologians and historians than anything else, but Adam was said to have a wife before Eve. Her name was Lilith. She was a very willful woman, and she ended up being scrapped (or maybe banished; I don't know). Then came Eve, who was the much better version of a woman. Check this stuff out on the History channel and at the book store.

Adam and Eve were the first people. What the Bible doesnt go into that most Bible scholars believe is that Cain and Able were not their only children, and she probably had children with both Cane and Able. Cane and Able most likely also had children with a sister, and Adam with a daughter.
This wasnt considered incest at the time bc the Earth need to be populated.

The order that man and animals were created in is different in Genesis 1 and 2, too.
Genesis 1: Animals were created first, then Man
Genesis 2: Adam first, then animals, then Eve

The idea of creation and creator is based on the physical self. But the truth is physical body is not self. When it is investigated through inquiry and reasoning it is found that the physical body is not the self.
The investigation through inquiry and reason reveals that 'I' is not self. The self is formless non-dual spirit or Atman. Therefore whatever is seen,known,believed and experienced as person of the world and religion and god found to be illusion or falsehood on the standpoint of Atman or spirit as self. Therefore the whole experience of duality in which you and your world and religious belief is present is illusion.
Therefore Adam and eve, you and your experience of the world is part of the illusion. Therefore first know what the self is to overcome all your confusions.

Chapter 1, brief overview of the whole occurance
Chapter 2, detailed description of what happened.
Like a summary, then someone looks into the details about a specific part. Please note, there is no like, after the 7th day, God created Adam.

Actually "Adam" is just a word for a group of people. Not just one person. Christians that take the bible literal are a joke.
So first mankind was made and then a group of people named "Adam" was formed.

The Bible is not written in chronological order.
All men came FROM Adam and Eve.

What maximum individuals get puzzled with is that during Genesis one million:26 And God reported, enable us to make guy in our photograph, after our likeness: and enable them to have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the chicken of the air, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over each creeping difficulty that creepeth upon the earth. God the father, Son and Holy Ghost have been all present day at the same time while the worldwide, animals and guy have been being created. that's the reason it says "enable us to make guy in Our photograph after Our likeness." they're speaking of their non secular photograph which grow to be created first earlier it grow to be placed into the human physique. The Trinity grow to be there precise from the very beginning. God grow to be arising the spirit of guy of which he had no longer placed into the flesh/ earthly physique yet. That occurs in Genesis 2:7 And our lord god formed guy of the airborne dirt and dust of the floor, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and guy grew to grow to be God made the animals first. i'm hoping this help sparkling issues up for you. God bless you.

Adam was the first man.
The Bible does no lie and would not lie.
Cain married one of Adam's daughters which also meant Cain married his sister.
God Bless.
