In the first creation story in Genesis (verses 1:1-2:4a), God created man (both male and female) after creating all other living things, simply by speaking them into existence (Genesis 1:26-27).
In the second creation story in Genesis (verses 2:4b-20), God created man (Adam) out of moist earth, before he created any other living thing; He created Eve out of Adam's rib (or his side, on a truer translation of the Hebrew text), after all other living things.
In neither story does God actually create the world itself. Many experts in Hebrew have carefully examined the texts and confirm that this is not what they say. The biblical creations were not ex nihilo (out of nothing), and the world itself already existed. Scholars say the concept of creation being ex nihilo began around the second century CE.

According to tradition, there is only one Genesis creation-narrative, with ch.2 serving as an expansion of the brevity of ch.1, not a separate set of events (Rashi commentary, Gen.2:8).
While Judaism has always seen the Torah as an intricate tapestry that nonetheless had one Divine source, some modern authors such as Wellhausen (the father of modern Biblical-criticism, 1844-1918) have suggested artificially chopping up the narrative and attributing it to various authors, despite the Torah's explicit statement as to its provenance (Exodus 24:12, Deuteronomy 31:24).

Did God create the Earth for Himself?
Most religions are relatively silent on WHY God created the world (assuming the religion teaches that God DID create the world, as opposed to it being a creation of some other being or an accident). So, bottom line: we would need to know what specific religion you're referring to when you ask the question for it to make any sense at all, and even then, it might not have an answer (at least not an answer that anyone other than God himself (or herself, or itself, or themselves) knows).
If God is All Powerful and All Good then why are there so many people dying of starvation in the World?
Now this is my opinion, we came to earth to learn a lesson and God wouldn't make a world full of dying and starvation, so God did not make earth. God is always all powerful no dought about that. You have to make the most of the situations you are in no matter what they are. God puts us all in a certain situation for a reason. In the end God will come back and take all who believe in him to Heaven. In Heaven there is no Sadness, death, pain, or evil.
