I would like to be pointed to one word written by Paul in 1 Co 11 about Adam being created first and then Eve – “creation order”. All I can precisley read are words like “from” and “for” specificaly talking about “origin” not “order”.

Excellent observation! If Paul is talking about “origin” we should not changing this to “order” as if the man was in charge of the woman. For those who want to let the text speak for itself, verse 10 points to the woman’s right to have authority to make her own decision. If we want to be honest, we cannot twist the word for “authority” here that always gives the person themselves the right to action and never is used to describe a position of the subject “under authority”.
