"And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. "And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helpmeet for him. "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. "And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman and brought her unto the man. "And Adam 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. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh. "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed." Order of creation in the first account: 1. The heaven and the earth, and light were made. 2. The firmament was constructed and the waters divided. 3. The waters gathered into seas--and then came dry land, grass, herbs and fruit trees. 4. The sun and moon. He made the stars also. 5. Fishes, fowls, and great whales. 6. Beasts, cattle, every creeping thing, man and woman. Order of creation in the second account: 1. The heavens and the earth. 2. A mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 3. Created a man out of dust, by the name of Adam. 4. Planted a garden eastward in Eden, and put the man in it. 5. Created the beasts and fowls. 6. Created a woman out of one of the man's ribs. In the second account, man was made _before_ the beasts and fowls. If this is true, the first account is false. And if the theologians of our time are correct in their view that the Mosaic day means thousands of ages, then, according to the second account, Adam existed millions of years before Eve was formed. He must have lived one Mosaic day before there were any trees, and another Mosaic day before the beasts and fowls were created. Will some kind clergymen tell us upon what kind of food Adam subsisted during these immense periods? In the second account a man is made, and the fact that he was without a helpmeet did not occur to the Lord God until a couple "of vast periods" afterwards. The Lord God suddenly coming to an appreciation of the situation said, "It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helpmeet for him." Now, after concluding to make "an helpmeet" for Adam, what did the Lord God do? Did he at once proceed to make a woman? No. What did he do? He made the beasts, and tried to induce Adam to take one of them for "an helpmeet." If I am incorrect, read the following account, and tell me what it means: "And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an helpmeet for him.
