If one attempts to take a strict literal/chronological view to Genesis, many inconsistencies seem appear. For instance, in 1:2 it says the Spirit of God
hovered over the waters, yet these waters are not created yet. In chapter 1, Adam and Eve are created at the same time, whereas in chapter 2, Eve is
created subsequent to Adam. Genesis 1:12 shows vegetation on the earth, but 2:5 says there was not yet vegetation.
uh-oh
Josh McDowell and others have delt with those issues very convincingly for those who are seriously interested in the truth.
uh oh yourself.
Uh, I think you better go read that section again skylight4u. The waters were already created.
