 ==== Biblical Mentions ====
-I think that people who include Lilith as an actual character according need to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why Lilith is not explicitly named or referred to in the Bible outside of the single place where she is supposedly created first.((:fn:>Obviously, excluding that, there are mentions of Lilith, but those are explicitly as a monster and not ‘first woman’, which is the point I'm making here.))\\  Remember that the Bible remains exactly the same in this scenario((:fn:>Unless you explicitly change the Bible as well, of course.)), so Genesis is still made up of two books smushed together into one narrative. There has to be a reason for why ‘woman created twice’ is unique among all the other incidents of the same thing happening twice.\\  Here's a simple solution that I came up with: The Dead Sea Scrolls. It doesn't necessarily have to be those, but can be if you want them to be. À la Evangelion, let's suggest that among the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are some of the oldest versions of the Biblical texts, is included a text, or multiple, which explain the whole Lilith situation. This text explicitly explains the creation of woman twice as actually being about two women being created. Then some later evidence suggests (or that text explicitly claims) that disagreements started over why woman was created twice and whether this was a mistake or not. Possibly because it's not understood why woman #1 left the Garden of Eden or disagreements over how woman was created. Over time, it's possible that they may start to argue that only one woman was ever created, but disagreed on //how//.\\  So, in this version of events, the two versions of the creation story that are smashed together are tellings of the same version of events...just that they disagreed on a number of details. The two each chose a different way for how Lilith was created.\\  This isn't an iron-tight view of things, but I think it fits well-enough together.
