Problem: Does Genesis 1 contradict Genesis 2
Gen 1.11 – Plants and Trees made on day 3
— Gen 2:8 Plants and trees made after man on Day 6
Gen 1:20 – Birds made out of the water on day 5
— Gen 2:19 Birds made out the Ground on Day 6
Gen 1:24 – Animals made before man on day 6
— Gen 2:24 Has animals made after man on Day 6
Solution:
On Day 6 after God created man, He put that man in the Garden. In the garden He also created trees good for food. Then He made one more of each animal out of the ground for Adam to name and for Adam to find a helpmate. God then caused Adam to go to sleep so he could make that helpmate (Eve). All of this happened on Day 6.
