Bible Contradiction? When was Eve created?

For today’s post we will tackle the question the Skeptic Annotated Bible asked: When was Eve created?

Here are the answers which the skeptic believes indicate a Bible contradiction:

At the same time as Adam.

“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27)

After Adam and all the animals were created.

“The man gave names to all the livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. 21 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. 22 And the Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.” (Genesis 2:20-22)
