>I've only seen one version of creation. Maybe you have a different version of Genesis. I think it probably is due to different authors writing about the same event.

The story is told, then it's told again. In one version, Eve is created from dust, like Adam. In the other version, she's created from Adam's rib.

>I believe it is the inspired word of God, not that he actually wrote it. I don't know of anyone who says they think God actually wrote the book.

I've run into people who believe that God dictated every word of the first five books to Moses. I've never been clear on how they think the rest of the books came to be.
