       But how do we know Eve was created on Day Six with Adam? The creation of Eve by God is discussed in more detail in Genesis chapter 2. But this text does not seem to indicate it was the same day as Adam. However, we know it was the same day from a verse in Genesis chapter 5 and verses 1 and 2, of which it says, “In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created” (1-2ex, KJV). This text, then, clearly shows us that Eve was created on the same day as Adam. Really, though, that’s not even necessary, for let’s continue the text. Notice how it says “them”: “And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it.”
