Quote:
Were women and men created equal?
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."
vs.
Genesis 2:18,23 "And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. . . . 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."

The second elaborates on the first. I see no contradiction. He CREATED woman out of what he'd created man. Making them equal (even though equality is not mentioned in the first passage).
I see no contradiction.
