Contradictions and Paradoxes in Genesis 5:2

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Genesis 5:2 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Genesis 5:2. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, God made both boys and girls and said they were good, and he called them all "Adam," meaning they were part of the first family he created. This shows that everyone is special and loved by God.

Genesis 5:2: Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

Contradiction with Genesis 1:27

This verse says "male and female created he them," similar to Genesis 5:2. However, it emphasizes the simultaneity of their creation, which can contradict interpretations of their creation order when read alongside Genesis 2, where Adam is formed first and then Eve from Adam's rib.

Genesis 1:27: So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Paradox #1

The contradiction or inconsistency could arise from the use of the word "Adam" to refer to both a specific person and all of humanity, which might confuse readers about whether it refers to one individual or all humans collectively.
