Genesis I...created "man"

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them"

Genesis II...God creates Eden, Adam, and Eve.

Seems rather clear to me.

It also answers the question of just who Cain married.

[Just mythoughts]

The flesh beings created on the sixth day are not the same as created on the day following the 7th.

Peter says that a 'day' with the Lord is as a thousand years, so we have an elapse of time from the 6th day until the Adam and Eve were formed.

Further after the 7th day of rest there we are told Gen2:4 "These are THE GENERATIONS ....... " that word generations = family history that is not recorded in the Bible. Yet in 2:5 ....... there was not a man to till the ground.

Note in Genesis 1 on the 6th day creation we are told that creation was given 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. NO farmers listed in this group.
