The Bible says that Adam was created before Eve. This point is often used by believers, including the biblical authors, to explain why men are in authority over women.

1 Timothy 2:12-13 is an example...
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.


I want to know what science says about the matter.

For Discussion - Is there a scientific basis for claiming that males existed before females? What is the evidence? Anything conclusive?
