Or it is because Genesis is copy pasted together from two slightly different original sources. One where man and woman were created on the same day and one where Eve was created after Adam.

This sounds like the Bible is just clobbered together from other cultures beliefs by a ChatGPT… and I kinda wonder how that’d work out now.

It was. Noah's ark, for example, was cribbed from the Epic of Gilgamesh.

The two main sources of the bible are known as E and J. The Elohist and the Jahwist. The Elohist named so because in text believed to come from this school god is referred to as El or the plural Elohim(like a royal plural). In the Jahwist source god is referred to as Yahweh.

Both El and Yahweh were gods in the Canaanite pantheon.
