I don't see the contradiction. Secondly, I was not trying to sound or be self righteous to anyone. If I came across that way to anyone I appologize, that was not my intent.

OK, I'm sure you mean well, but c'mon the mental gymnastics needed to wave away the obvious contradictions is staggering

Genesis 1

Day 5

1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good...

1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so....

Day 6

1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 1 is very clear, Animals came first, a whole day before man

Now contrast that with Genesis 2

2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help-meet for him.

2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.


See it now, man was ALONE, and then God created EVERY animal. It doesn't say "and even after creating some animals God saw man was still alone and created even more animals for him", no man was alone, all by himself.

Gen 1 = Animals-->Man & Women
Gen 2 = Man-->Animals-->Women

You can't miss it. But if you still don't see it, I suggest your problem is this.

No, I'm not controlled by a demon. But thanks for the heads up.
I don't believe Gen 2 is a chronological order unlike Gen 1. The link I posted in 480 explaines the writing style used by the Hebrew writers back then. I know its a long read but it really does a great job of explaining it.
