If Genesis is so clear, why does it recite two different, contradictory versions of the Creation?

If Moses was so smart, how come he wrote two different, contradictory versions of the Creation?

Wouldn't SOMEONE have 'noticed' that early on and 'evened' out the account?

[Just mythoughts]

Oh, but Moses did not write/recite "two different contradictory versions of the Creation".

He wrote of two different "DAYS" of Creation. The 6th day of CREATION and it was "GOOD". REST on the 7th day. Then there was NO MAN to till the ground, no farmer, thus "the Adam" was created and "animals" he was to name.

The Bible is about "the ADAM" his generations, check out who is listed in "Adam's" generations, somebody is not listed there. This "the ADAM" fell while in the "FLESH" and it says the GOD repented that he MADE "MAN IN THE FLESH".

MODERN MAN, not MOSES, recite two different contradictory versions of the Creation.

They aren't two different accounts. One is focused on creation at a high level view. The second gives the creation account with a focus on the relationship between God and man.

I don't know why normally intelligent people have trouble figuring that out.

This kind of 'telling and retelling' is a common teaching tool. I don't know why normally intelligent people have trouble figuring this out.
