Why doesnt anyone acknowledge the creation of Adam was after the creation of man? Genesis1:26-28 NIV [26] Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” [27] So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. [28] God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” So God made men and women at the same time. He spoke them into existence like He did everything else. However, in Genesis 2:7 God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. And not until Genesis 2:21-22 did God form Eve from Adam's rib.
