God had made Adam first and made all the best detailed creation/making for a man..
Aftewards, He created and made Eve, the best detailed creation/making for a woman.
In another words, they are both important to God.
But in responsibility, Adam was created first to be responsible for everything and be a husband.
Eve was created later to submit to her husband.

Actually, the Bible does in fact state that Eve was created by God for Adam, the Adam named her Woman (because she was taken from man), and then Adam named her Eve. She was created very specifically to be his wife and companion.
In regards to Esjeur's statement of Lilith being Adam's first wife, that was from the Jewish book called The Alphabet of Ben Sura...not the Bible.
Why do men and women both have 24 ribs?
Adam and Eve only had two sons originally, Cain and Abel. After Cain killed Abel, they "replaced" him with a son named Seth. At that point, supposedly, Noah and all of humanity decended from Seth banging his mother.
Good times...except it's a bunch of shit. If the original populous of the Earth was 2 people, mankind would have surely gone extinct.
Don't forget that God created the seas, the land and the animals in the first place, and we're masacring and poluting them everyday. And that Eve had the most important task of bearing children. So, what's your point?
Actually, Patches, it's more like this:

So Eve was the second-rate human? Like humans were second-rate angels? And angels were second-rate gods? And talk about heaping responsibility on Adam. The world’s first man was born into an adult body, never having a childhood or parents, learned about life by “Just being” one day, and walking naked through a jungle that contained animals eating plants, and talking to a disembodied voice that tells you what it decides to tell him. One day he wakes up with a missing rib and some girl that he doesn’t know talking to him. Then a snake talks to her and she tells adam to eat a fruit and now all 10 billion on earth, alive and who have ever lived, their souls are entirely in the hands of THIS guy? Gee, that seems fair.
The Bibles were written by MALES! MALES! Sexist bastards. Well, I am a sexist, but I see no point in using a tool of manipulation to make everyone sexist. Let each have their own POVs, and see which one is better off afterwards.
Adam was a rough draft. Dumbass.
He made him, decided it looked funny, and made something much more pleasant to look at, smell, taste, feel and hear. Oh, and eventually impregnate in some pseudo-incestous liason.
Submit to this, honkus!
Stop tap-dancing around your obviously sexist point. I'm sick of this "women are equal to men in the eyes of God... but not really" bullshit.
Oh, and here's a little tip for the dating-challenged: Until you can relate to a woman as a person and not a thing existing to fulfill your whims, you'll never have a relationship. Not that it would be much of a loss to the human gene pool if you never reproduced.
Confused?
