What is the age?
In bible Adam and Eve was created by God. At what stage(age) that means as an child, adolescent, or teenage or adult , the God created them?
Dear ones, There is no contradiction of Genesis 1 and 2. in 1 he described the day wise creation. In 2 he explained his creation in detailed. Observe the Genesis 2:4. say ' This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created....."So, it it only explanation of his creation detailed how he made adam and eve. So, in Genesis he did not mention 6 days again. He explain the creation of earth and heavens(3ed day),and he mentioned the creation of man (6th day) and women how he created. The eden garden creation is different explanation. He explained the creation of man, eden, women in detailed from verses Genesis 2: 7 to 25. In Genesis 1:27 he mentioned he created male and female . He did not mentioned the day order in Genesis 2. So, I am thinging like this. I dont know whether it is right or wrong. On the bases of the verses Genesis 2: 4 , I thought like that.

I would rather say that they were overgrown children and immature adolescents. May be God created (?) them because (1) he did not have the patience to take care of children or (2) he did not want to waste time in training kids to live an ideal life. He wanted them to learn through mistakes - and what a mistake they made. We are repeating the same mistake even today. So answering your question, they seem to be between the age of 15 to 20 years - the right formative age.

The Bible says "man and woman he created them" and then they had children, so they must have been adults of child-bearing age if we take it literally.
However, taking it literally is not wise, since Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 contradict one another--Genesis 1 has God creating man and woman last, Genesis 2 has God creating Adam before the animals, and then Eve last.
So in essence, your question is like the medieval query about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin--it has no practical implications. Not that there's anything wrong with airy mentations, but let's be clear about

God created Adam from the soil and breathed life into Him. He was created as an adult male with logic and reason. Adam helped God name all the animals He created and looked to see if any of those were suitable for Adam as a mate. Adam was holding out for something better so God put Adam in a deep sleep and took a rib from his side and from that rib alone or whatever else He chose to use, He created woman (out of man) for Adam. Adam was pleased with her and they were husband and wife.

Dear friend,
The divine personalities do such acts which our human minds
can not understand.The First answerer has already given a good answer.
We are not supposed to question the roots or causes of births of these Divine personalities.we have to accept with faith and devotion.
If we bring the questioning mind into play you will never understand the scriptures.Any scripture should be read in such a way without questioning with our limited reasoning.Then they gradually reveal themselves the true meaning in them.
God Bless you.

God created Adam and Eve and then MAN created the rest.
It was man who gave things names, labels, categorizations, tags, dates, times, ages etc etc. And there the problems started....

excellent question. Perhaps more important than their biological age, would be their mental age.
Even if god had created (he he he) them at, let's say, age 20- as fully formed adults. What experiences would he have placed in their brains such that they would have sufficient wisdom to, uh, lets say, know right from wrong?
And, if they didn't have a lifetime's worth of wisdom- then wouldn't he expect them to try and break the rules to see what happens?

The story is a metaphor, the entire point of which you apparently missed. Your question is analogous to asking: If Peter Pan could never grow up, did he have to pay Social Security taxes?
Grace be unto you and peace.

They were adults because Adam was a man and Eve was able to conceive children.
- OctoberLv 71 decade ago
If they were adults, with the ability to think talk, and act as adults, then they had to be created with those abilities in their genes as they had no time to learn them. Then why aren't babies born with those abilities as they presumably have the same genetic material as Adam?
