Two different views. \n\nEvolution    Creation\n\nYou either believe one or the other.\nUnless you are undesicive, but then you're usually an atheist.

And God said, Let (US) make man in (OUR) image, after our likeness\nNo that means that there are thee person present at the creation.\nGod the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit.\nIt was God alone that created man.\n\n\nhttp://www.biblebelievers.com/SimpleSalvation.html

The man "Adam" was created in the day God created the heavens and the earth which was in the beginning. Mankind was created on the sixth day. Adam or as the bible says in the Hebrew THE MAN never had children until he was expelled from the garden of Eden. So mankind was not procreated by THE ADAM and EVE until they had fallen which was after the seventh day because God said the seventh day was very good. The Adam had access to the tree of life so the time between mankind being created and the fall of the Adam is not recorded in the bible. The Adams children were Cain, Able, and Seth. Cain killed Able and there is no record of Able having children. Cain and Seth went into the world of mankind and had children by mankind. When Cain was expelled from God's presence he went and took a wife of the land of Nod. To make a long story short the world became tainted because they mated with the daughters of men and eventually God cleansed the world with a flood. Noah had a pedigree and you can read the rest.\nThe key is God said to Adam in the day that you eat of the tree dying you shall die. If The Adam had not eaten of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil "The Adam" would never have died. Peter said a day in the Lord was 1,000 years, The Adam lived 930 years after he ate of the tree making him die just shy of 1,000 years fulfilling the prophecy.

If you believe the Old Testament, Adam was created in God's image by God. No one gave birth to him. That explanation works for fundamentalist Jews, Christians and Muslims. The Buddhists and Hindus must have an explanation too, but I don't know what it is.\n\nIf you believe evolution, which 99% of all biologists believe, an almost-human gave birth to the first human.\n\nTake your pick.

Adam and Eve were obsolutly not the first people on the earth!\n\n Any Bible scholar with half a brain would be able to decipher that GODS WORD ( bible ) alone makes that claim!\n\nAnyone who makes the claim that all people come from Adam and Eve are simply dispelling Judaisms greatest hoax upon the body of Christ!\n\nIt is true that God stated that HE made Adam and Eve in His "own likeness" and  That He created them "for His own purpose." Remember that as we go along!\n\nWe all know the story of Adam and Eve and the alleged apple incident . Which ,, BTW is nothing more than a Judaeo incert into our bibles. There is no such thing as an apple leading any of GODS people astray. In the garden we see that GOD upon calling Adam and Eve HE noticed that they were aware of their nakedness. God asked them  how they knew and Adam right away blamed it on Eve . Eve in turn stated that the "SERPENT HAD BEGUILD ME." The word " beguiled" means to SEDUCE and the intention here is meant to be seduced sexually.\n\nWas ADAM really blaming EVE? Obsulutely not! the fact that Eve first had sex with the serpent ( satan) was the great sin. Upon knowing of this great thing called sex Eve then consumated with ADAM and ADAM hade thought that he had sinned.\n\n     Not so, for GOD after creating Adam and Eve had told them they may partake of any fruit in the garden ( which there were only ADAM and Eve) but they are not to partake of the evil fruit of knowledge . God refers to all things as Fruit, Be fruitfull and multiply, thy fruit of thy womb, thy fruit of thy loins ect, ect. The evil fruit whom had all knowledge was in fact Satan and it was satan that had "beguild" or suduced Eve. Then eve seduced Adam which was a perfect suduction as planned by God. It is scientifically proven that a woman can have sex with one man and hours or days later have sex with another man and become pregnant with twins by two diferent biological fathers.\n\nIn this case one father was Adam and the other father was Satan or later known as the CANNITES.\n\nWAIT ! IT GETS BETTER AND THEN YOUR EYES WILL BE OPENNED!\n\nWhen cain slew ABLE God called to CAIN. CAIN WERE IS THEY BROTHER? Cain answered " Am I my brothers keeper? God reasoned and said "YOUR BROTHERS BLOOd HAS CRIED OUT TO ME" meaing that blood has a voice that only GOD can hear!\n\nFor this abomination God told Cain that He will CURSE AND DRIVE him out of the garden for killing the son of man. God knew good and well that CAIN and thusly the CANNITES were not of the son of man.\n\n\nIn the fourth chapter of GENISIS Cain makes this statement to GOD: \n   " I shall be a vagabond on the earth: IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT EVERY ONE THAT FINDETH ME SHALL SLAY ME."\n\nIf only Adam and Eve existed ,then  WHO was Cain afraid of that would kill him? Who was it that he would be a fugitive from? It is quite clear that the "everyone ' that Cain was refering to could not be Adam and Eve. Who was Cain refering to?\n\nCain was well aware ( more than some bible readers who could not see this truth) that many people existed in the lands around them. This fact is VERIFIED BY GOD in HIS response to Cain in verse 15:\n\nGod told Cain that " WHOSOEVER OF THE "OTHER" PEOPLE THAT MIGHT SLAY YOU, VENGENEANCE SHALL BE ON THAT PERSON."\n\nWhy did God give Cain and identifying "MARK" if Adam and EVE were the only people who knew him very well and were the only "other " alleged people alive? Why would they need a "mark " to identify Their son Cain?\n\nIf Adam and Eve were the FIRST and ONlY PEOPLE at this time, then from were did Cain find a wife? Not only was he able to find a wife , but there were obviously enough people to be part of the city built by Cain after his expulsion from the garden. Cains marriage, the birth of his son Seth, all these circumstances thus point to the existance of men independent of Adam

In heaven, there will be male or female.  We will be spiritual beings.  Quite different and better than we are now.  Adam and Eve were made to work together to glorify God.  They each had a very special purpose to God.

No, Eve was not created with Adam.  There is the legend of Lilith, the first woman, she refused to do what Adam told her and she flew off to eventually marry Salathiel (an Angel gone bad) and they had some hellashish creature babies.  OOOOOO now the Christians are gonna jump me, they ought to check out how many of each kind of animal was on the ark, and who really killed Goliath, and were did the Sons of Anak come from if all the giants died in the flood.  Just a few inconsistencies in that great book.  But I believe in what is right, my own version, and if their versions every denomination can be "the way," then so can mine, but only for me!  Thanks man, this was fun.

The correct answer IS no one.  However, I understand where your confusion comes from.  In Genesis 1 we read an overview of the entire creation.  In verse 27 we see that God created man and woman, but are not given any names.  However, this doesn’t mean that they are not Adam and Eve.  The end of chapter 1 concludes the brief account, or summary if you will, of creation, and chapter 2 then elaborates on some important details.  These include how God created man and woman and their names.  Chapter 2 verse 7 describes the creation of Adam, but we know that it is an elaboration on the creation of man given in 1:27, because in 2:5 it specifically says that there was no man on the earth.  \n\nHope that clears it up a little.\n\n_______________  EDIT _______________\n\nTo James,\n\nI'm afraid you are mistaken about the meaning of the word "man" as it applies to Genesis 1 and 2.  I encourage you to look at the original Hebrew words as it makes it clearer that both chapters refer to the same "man".  It is understandable that some confusion is introduced when translating into English, so it is helpful to look at the original words to determine their meaning both individually and in the context of the surrounding scripture.  For example, the word for "man" is the exact same Hebrew word in both chapter 1 and 2, AND it is essentially the same word as the man's name! ADAM!  And it is a form that is used much more often as a singular form, while a different word (Alef + Yod + Shin) is used more often to indicate MEN - plural.  The word in Genesis 1 & 2 in Hebrew is Alef + Dalet + Mem.  \n\nCheck it our more for yourself -- you'll be surprised how consistent it is with the rest of the Bible's idea that Adam WAS the first man!

God created Adam and Eve so he was their father (and ours) so it must have been: Adam God and Eve God.

Adam was made in the image of God and the angels.\n\nGenesis 1:26\nThen God said"let us make man in OUR image, occording to OUR likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air,and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on earth."\n\nGenesis 1:27\n\nSo God created man in his own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.\n\nGenesis 1:28\n\nThen God blessed them, and God said to them," be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.

Adam was created by God on this earth. God took dust from the ground, formed him and breathed life into him so Adam was of the earth. Jesus was from heaven. He came down to earth and took the form of a man but because he is from above He exceeds and excells the one who is of the earth.

Bible says about the Adam and Eve, Quran also says in similar ways,\nIf going in detail in Quran of best translation and using our common sense we will come to know that,\nGod created universe, in his six days of creation, the Big bang happened, earth cooled down, life formed, plants came to being, animals came to being, in this six days only man also came from the descendants of apes.\n\nThe exact translation when u go, u will see that God talks about Six Eras not Six days.\n\nAdam is the first civilized being with intelligence among the humans in the shape of human(ape descendant). Therefore, he is called as the first man, and later Eve was also civilized under his influence. Thats the Gods creation of Man(civilized human among others).\n\nfor both of them it was like a paradise on earth, as they used to see the world with intelligent eyes and understand, but where thrown away from that paradise after getting the idea of evilness(that apple story), that means that wonderful life was no more after being sinful.\n\nUnderstand more and more with common sense, u will understand both science and God's creation together.

Probably the "God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve" one.  This argument totally overlooks the fact that God created hermaphrodites.  And anyone who believes that God creates humans, will have to agree that God created hermaphrodites, because they were born that way.  So obviously the Adam and Eve story does not cover all the people that God created.

well methodical scientist have traced the location of Eden back to Egypt along with the very first case of homo-erectus (i know, it sounds gross doesn't it?) so if Adam and eve were in fact the first man and woman they were tan just as the Egyptians are.

If Adam & Eve had not disobeyed Jehovah, they would be living somewhere on the Earth today in a Garden of Eden, a Paradise.\n\nThere are those who reason that, because of the very nature of the physical universe, the time must come when the sun will no longer shine and the earth will no longer sustain life. But are they correct? What does the Creator say—the One who brought into existence energy and matter, the One who originated the laws on which our existence depends?\nSolomon penned these words: “A generation is going, and a generation is coming; but the earth is standing even to time indefinite.” But for how long? According to the literal rendering of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, it will be “to time indefinite.” What does that mean?\nAs to what the expression means in connection with the earth, we are not left in doubt. At Psalm 104:5 we are told: “He has founded the earth upon its established places; it will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.\nThus it is regarding the planet Earth on which we live that Jesus Christ taught his followers to pray to God: “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.”—Matthew 6:9, 10.\nJehovah’s will is not for the earth to be inhabited by people who have no regard for its Owner and little love for one another. Long ago he promised: “Evildoers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:9, 29) “The inhabited earth to come,” of which the Bible speaks, will be populated by people who fear God and sincerely love their fellowmen. (Hebrews 2:5; compare Luke 10:25-28.) So great will be the changes that take place under God’s heavenly Kingdom that the Bible speaks of “a new earth”—not a different globe, but a new human society that will live amid the paradisaic conditions that mankind’s Creator purposed from the time he began his earthly creation.—Revelation 21:1-5; Genesis 2:7-9, 15.\nThe establishing of that “new earth” will, of necessity, be preceded by great destruction—one surpassing anything that mankind has yet experienced. For the good of the earth itself and all who are truly grateful to its Creator, he will “bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” (Revelation 11:17, 18) God’s time for doing this is very near! When it is completed, will you be found among the survivors?\n\n“Inherit the earth”—what an exciting prospect! But can we be sure that this is not just another crafty scheme designed to deprive people of something? Yes, we can. Since the earth is part of Jehovah’s marvelous creation, he as the Maker and Owner has the legal right to bequeath it to whomever he chooses. Through King David, Jehovah made this prophetic promise to His beloved Son, Jesus Christ: “Ask of me, that I may give nations as your inheritance and the ends of the earth as your own possession.” (Psalm 2:8) For this reason, the apostle Paul described Jesus as the one “whom [God] appointed heir of all things.” (Hebrews 1:2) We can, therefore, have full confidence that when Jesus said that the meek “shall inherit the earth,” he did so in good faith, and he has the proper authority to fulfill his promise.—Matthew 28:18.\n2 Peter 3:6: \nPeter writes that God brought the Deluge “upon a world of ungodly people,” while preserving Noah and his family; in this way “the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water.” (2Pe 2:5; 3:6) It may again be noted that the reference here is not to the destruction of the planet or of the celestial bodies of the universe, but it is restricted to the human sphere, in this case the unrighteous human society. It was that “world” that Noah condemned by his faithful course.—Heb 11:7.
