27 - So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.


Historians have found that the 1st chapter of Genesis was written at a different time and by a different author than chapters 1-5. In Ch. 1 - God is referred to as 'God' (Elohim in the original) in Ch 2. it becomes 'Lord God' (Jehovah in the original). This is important because at the end of Ch. 1 God had made man and woman already.
Then in Chapter 2 you get the whole Adam and Eve story/fable/myth/whatever.
