God created Adam a fool.

أَحْمَقَ a fool

This adjective is a second accusative on the same verb, describing the STATE in which Adam was created, 'created (as) a fool'. Arabic can stack a descriptive accusative onto the object to express the condition resulting from the action. So it tells you the manner of the creating, not a separate thing created.
