Jewish History: Biblical History: Adam's Creation:

Was Adam created, or was he formed out of earth? Was Eve created, or was she formed out of Adam's rib?

"Formed" doesn't contradict "created"; it just provides more detail. The account of Adam and Eve's creation in Gen.Ch.2 is more detailed than the one-sentence account in Gen.1:27. Like the animals (Gen.1:24), Adam came out of the earth, on the sixth day. Adam and Eve were originally created as a single person; see the wording in Gen.1:27. Gen.Ch.2 provides more detail about how they were separated into two bodies.
