Adam & Eve

[Charlie Brown]

My question is, Adam and Eve were the first two that God created, but were they the only two?

It seems the creation account is unclear as it doesn't say God created Adam and Eve only. But I would assume so.

Thanks for the reply. The reason I think they might have been the first two, but not the only two is because when I "picture" the creation account I don't picture God only creating one of everything. For example, when He created the trees, I picture multiple trees being created. I was just curious if the creation of humans would have been the same.

Charlie,

I'll throw this out there... I don't necessarily agree with it but there are some who believe that there are two separate creation accounts when it comes to man. In Genesis 1:27 God creates male and female in one creation account and the other is in Genesis 2:7 (Adam) and 22 (Eve) in the Garden of Eden. Why a separate creation account in Genesis 2? Because God was creating a separate group of people (that is the Jewish race) for which the messiah would be born out of.

That's where my confusion begins. I don't believe that Genesis 2 is a separate creation account, but a more in depth look at day six and the beginning of our relationship with God. Too confusing. lol

Too confusing. lol

I guess that makes two of us then....
