Adam, in perfection, would have known what to do in creation and how to govern it. What a glorious place could have developed—had Adam remained in the state of righteousness! Present-day scientific developments, likely, would have been nothing compared to that in paradise! All that was the blessing

Adam was indeed created first and Eve came after as a help fit for him in his needfulness. Eve was taken from his rib and not a second handful of dirt showing that she is from the man and for the man. We cannot know what their perfect relationship of headship and perfect helper looked like. My refer
Adam bore the likeness of God, in the first place, because he possessed true knowledge of God. Even as God knows Himself as the only Good, the fulness of infinite perfections, so He gave to man the ability to know Him as the true and living God, in as far as the earthly creature was capable of knowi
