"Genesis is mostly about who created us, not how we were created."

Actually, Genesis contains considerable detail about how we were created and some of the details conflict. Unfortunately, there are many who want to insist that the book of Genesis is literal truth in every word, apparently they do not understand that two conflicting details cannot both be literal truth. The insistence on this, extending in some cases to a search for the actual "tree of life" and the wreck of "Noah's Ark", in my opinion does a great disservice to the search for truth. I would not be greatly surprised to see a television special in which someone points out the location where Cain slew his brother and the weapon he used to strike him down.

There is no conflict in Genesis. The two creation narratives are simply different in scope. The first is much more high level, the second includes more details on the creation of man and fewer on the world. There is no conflict, one should be seen as the elaboration of the other.
