“There are TWO CREATION STORIES right in Genesis.”
Did the seminary you attended teach that?

Is that conclusion based on the Hebrew?

Can you correlate that conclusion with the Greek?

Does it matter. There are dozens of translations. I gave you my reference for this discussion. Try 2:4 ~ it says right there - to wit: "This is the account 9 of the heavens and the earth when they were created – when the Lord God made the earth and heavens. "

Two stories ~ two creations ~ just a chapter apart ~ with their own sequences.

I'm sure you've got arguments prepared to tie the two together, but that will cause you to deviate from the precision of the timeframe, which is an integral part of the stories ~ both of them ~ and definitely as much a part of the language handed down by God to Moses as any other part. If you deviate you can get the birds to have someplace to land. if you don't deviate you have to explain why the plants have no Sun to give them light and warmth.
