Jesus put these two passages together in reference to Adam and Eve in Matthew 19 which helped clarify who the man in Gen Chapter 1:27 is in reference to. (Many people twist that around, only if they ignore what Jesus said). He also inserted the word "beginning" thankfully.

Gen 1:27
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Gen 2:23-24
23 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.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Matthew 19:4-5
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

This also helps those who take issue with the supposed differing creation accounts in Gen Chapter 1 and Gen Chapter 2. The Holy Spirit has it all covered for our admonition. We worship an awesome God who foresees these issues.

So exactly when were each of the races created? You surely are not going to say that all races came from 1 man and 1 woman.

That goes against "NATURE" and thus makes it against our Heavenly Father, considering he said "kind after kind", and it was "GOOD".
