“That’s right, other wise why don`t it say that God made Adam on the sixth day? but it don`t.”

Well, the Bible certainly says God created man and woman on the sixth day. Your argument is fallacious, because absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Just because the verse doesn’t say that the man God created on the sixth day was named Adam, does not mean that we can safely conclude that it was someone other than Adam.

“If we take the Bible literally we can see that Adam was made after the six day creation because there was no man to till the ground even though every thing including man was already made.”

You are citing a verse from Genesis 2, while the days of creation are detailed in Genesis 1. Instead of reading the Bible literally, you simply assume that Genesis 2 is a continuation of the narrative of Genesis 1, but the Bible nowhere says that. It is simply your interpretation which causes these apparent conflicts.

You seem to think gen 2 is an explanation of Gen I, where does it say that?

If your view of it is literal why does it change it from six days to generations and then to one day?
