OBW has said that "God allowed Adam to see his lack":

Your version is much less plausible than the Sunday School version. And much less in sync with the scripture. At least the Sunday School version acknowledges an all-knowing God who allowed Adam to see his lack rather than just push it on him. Your version makes God into a half-baked buffoon who has to quickly take action to cover up his mistake.

But does the bible say that? No. The Bible in Genesis 2:18 says that it was God who realized Adam needed a wife. It says nothing about "God allowing Adam to realize".

Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

In Genesis 1:31 God said "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. "

Yet in Genesis 2:18 God said "it is not good that..."

This indicates that in the creation story, God realized something was missing from His creation plan. God, not Adam. .

I would not claim that "God is a half-baked buffoon", but simply accept what the Bible says.

It was God who saw Adam's need. The bible mentions nothing about God making Adam realize his need, or Adam asking God for a wife.

Matt 6:8 your Father knows what you need before you ask him."
