The problem is in the translation. The words used in v.19 do not indicate that the animals were created at that moment for Adam to name, but that the animals had been created by God in the past. A more accurate translation would be :

"The LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air."

The order of creation is not changed. However, if you believe that the Chapters are contradictory, how do you reconcile this with evolution? How do you reconcile God forming all the animals for Adam to name in a short period of time. Also, would not Adam's existence before the animals go contrary to evolution?

Are evolution and the Scripture compatible? The answer is no.

Then, why did God say it was not good for man to be alone? Seems that if the animals were first, he would have said otherwise ...

The problem is in the translation. The words used in v.19 v.13 do not indicate that the animals were sun was created at that moment for Adam to name on the fourth day , but that the animals sun had been created by God in the past day one.

I don't believe Adam came before the animals. Just as with the Sun, god created them at certain time. The fact that he reiterates their creation does not mean that he created them in that sequence. I think you agree that just because God reiterated his creation of animals for man's company after he created man, that that does not mean the animals came after? Right?

Interesting. This is EXACTLY the same logic you refuse to accept concerning the day of creation of the sun. God created light on the first day. This is obviously the sun. You can't have it both ways.
