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.
Well there's something because I can't figure out how anyone can say that Gen-2 is not in chronological order
2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet (The Animals) for him.
it's clear as day he made man then felt man was alone and then God made the animals for him.

53 pages, Yikes!!!!! That should tell you something right there, if you need 53 pages to explain away a few verses then something is obviously wrong.
I did actually read some of it, the author dodged this point
Quote "The text says nothing about God observing Adam's loneliness after some period of time. Rather, "[t]he narrative begins with the striking announcement by God that the man is not yet as God had planned [him] to be" (emphasis supplied). Mathews observes, "Whether the man felt his aloneness at first is not stated; only the divine viewpoint is given." Hamilton notes, "it is God who makes the judgment about the unsuitability of man's aloneness. Man is not consulted for his thoughts on the matter. At no point does man offer to God any grievance about his current circumstances. In naming the animals, Adam realized that none was a suitable helper, one "matching him," but that is different than suggesting that time beyond that exercise was needed for him to pine for companionship".
A non-answer
And the two verses before show man was already around
2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
So unless God is making a tape to be played later, Adam is already there
Then comes the verse about the animals
2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet (The Animals) for him.
If this verse actually happened before the previous 2 then
a) It would have been written before them in the chapter
b) it wouldn't have started with "And", it would have started with something like "previously" or "but before the Lord created Adam"
