the Bible can't seem to make up its mind. Did they have editors back then to check for such things as internal consistency?

God created Adam first, said "I can do better" and created Eve.

Adam and Lilith were created at the same time. (Gen 1-27)Lilith refused to be a doormat to Adam’s every whim and took off to avoid living with such a jerk. God had no choice to be create another women for Adam (Gen 2-22), thus Eve comes into the picture.

What internal inconsistency are you talking about? Adam and Eve were created within a very short time frame of each other; first Adam, then Eve formed from part of Adam's side.
Consider this: if fraternal twins are born first one, then the other, is it inconsistent to say they share the same birthday? Adam and Eve could have been formed (easily) on the same day, but just hours apart. Still one first, and then the other.

Adam was created first, Genesis 2:15-22. No error. The first chapter is an overview while chapter two is details about what happened on the 6th day. It is also the day that the Garden of Eden was made.

Adam was created first. The Bible clearly states this fact. It says Eve was created out of Adam's rib.

According to the Bible it was Adam first and then Eve.
" And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
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. " ( Genesis 2: 21-23 )

Adam, then Eve. Eve was created from Adam's rib.
The Bible says it quite clearly. I don't know how you could misinterpret that. Except, of course if you are taking it out of context, and saying that Genesis 2 contradicts Genesis 1, which it doesn't, because Genesis 1 is an account of the creation in order it was created, and Genesis 2 is DESCRIBING it more in depth, and wasn't in chronilogical order. Is that what you were so "sure" about??? You have to KNOW the Bible to be able to interpret it. God bless

I agree. Two different stories by two different authors describing two different concepts from the same god. Moses (the most likely editor) did not see any problem with both concepts being so important and included them both.
Just to give answers a different perspective :)

God made Adam, and gave him nipples; soon he made Eve, and then he realized she's the one that'll need them.
So instead of putting Adam's nipples on Eve, he gave her her own.
But that wasn't your question was it? Never mind.

Eve was created from Adams rib so who do you think was first.
