"Forrest Fan - A Question"

I know everyone is fed-up with FF on this forum and about how every topic appears to gravitate towards him and his beliefs, but I have a genuine question for him.

If the Bible is all fact, as you have repeatedly claimed, then how can their be two creation stories, Genesis 1 & 2?

If he has his beliefs i think you should respect that. Just like he should stop forcing his beliefs onto you!

RBS, the answer is simple.

All good fiction has a sequel.

But in that case, why do they contradict eachother?

Why (in Genesis 1 I think) is women created after and from man, yet in the other man and women are created at the same time?

"The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man 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 2:22-23

Explain.

Explain what? You haven't asked me to explain anything, just enlightened me as to which version of Genesis it is in which Woman is created from Man.

So, I restate my quesiton, why in Genesis 2 are they made at the same time if Genesis 1 says that Woman was made from Man?

Oh, and I should perhaps explain for the imbecelic, when I say Genesis 1 & 2, I don't mean the verse, I mean the different creation stories.

They're not made at the same time, you clearly read in Genesis 2, how woman comes from man and the sleep Adam was in, when one of his ribs was made into woman.

"Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him." Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. Genesis 2:18-22
