VLVL creation stories in Genesis

[Steve Maas]

To me, as usual based on my own reading of the two rather than expert 
opinion, the most significant difference is that in #1 man and woman are 
created at the same time and are presumably equal while in #2 woman is 
created from man's rib and is presumably subservient.  Guess which prevails.
