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.

Whatever helps you make it through the night, Danny. I certainly believe in a higher power which I believe has helped me make it through some dark times but if Genesis were put forward by some group belonging to a religion which was entirely new to you I don't think you would see it the way you describe it.
Peace.
