Not sure why this question.

Um...so, you don't see that humans choosing to sin in the beginning is crucial to Christian theology?

And you're saying it's impossible that Genesis 1 is a macro and Genesis 2 is a retelling of Day 6?

Do Genesis 1 and 2 Contradict Each Other?

Occam's razor is not friendly to the hypothesis you're advancing.

To some Christianity is a reality, others a theology. The Adam gets much grief for his sin. Yes, he is the first recorded sinner of this flesh age. However, the greater sin committed by the devil took place in what Peter calls the world that was. Adam's flesh is what died, there is no record that he was damned to hell to be destroyed from within forever for his sin. Whereas, the devil has already been judged to death before this flesh age was set into motion. (Genesis 1:3)

And you're saying it's impossible that Genesis 1 is a macro and Genesis 2 is a retelling of Day 6? Do Genesis 1 and 2 Contradict Each Other?

Again I did not write Genesis. The Heavenly Father elected Moses who was born long after the events of the creation story. So what Moses put down until he was educated enough to write his own biography would have come directly from the Heavenly Father.

The first time I heard about DNA and what it could tell about a person, I knew there was no way that all peoples could come from only two people. I see the need to macro Genesis 1 and 2 child's play, as if God did not know what He had Moses pen. Even worldly history describes the time of hunter/gathers before agriculture became a recognized method of livelihood. What is the big deal with God saying to His children He created on the 6th day they were hunter/gathers with dominion over the earth's creatures designated and then He rested the 7th day stating after that 'day', there was no man to till the ground? Was God confused about what He had created or maybe just maybe He knew exactly what He was saying, knowing full well there would be plenty of Adam's coming down through the generations who choose to ignore His time line.

Occam nor his razor is mentioned in the whole of the Bible by name or instrument.
