What's Best Reconciliation of Gen 1 and 2 You've Heard?

Yet you're the only one who sees it that way. Perhaps you're the one looking through the dark glass? Actually, if you've ever bothered reading the Bible, you'll see that Eve isn't named until Chapter 3. We get that detail regardless of Chapter 2.Trék

Once again, my advice to you is the same as it's been the whole way through: READ THE BOOK!

quote:

---

Gen 3:20 -- And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

---

His reason was because Eve was going to have children. Clearly he could not give her a name in Gen 2 for a reason that didn't exist. She first needed to become pregnant (post-Fall) and then he named her. I'm beginning to think there isn't a single chapter that you don't misread. I've actually read a few, yes. However, never have I heard of anything so crazy as plants on the moon and humans in space. Please now, it's time to set the pipe aside and read the book for what it says.TrékEdited by Invictus, : fixed broken tag

C'mon mate! You're just inventing more fanciful ideas in order to prove the other (obviously false) fanciful ideas. All in support of a twisted half-literalist/half-drunk reading of what now appears to be not only Gen 1&2, but the whole Bible too! Tell me, what evidence do you have that God wrote the Good Book?Trék

It's not that they COULDN'T exist, it's just that they DIDN'T exist. Adam cannot name his wife Eve because she is mother of all the living long before she bears children. Afterall, Adam was fresh formed from the ground... I doubt he knew much about what he would do with a woman. Look at her? Sit on her?... oh WAIT! Have children with her... becomes quite obvious after gaining the knowledge of good and evil, don't you think?But, I'm going to stop with Eve and her name, because it's not important to the creation.Trék

The Bible doesn't talk about creatures beeing created on a foreign celestial body and put on hold until God made the animals (which prevented the creatures from seeing the creation, yet allowed them to be made BEFORE creation was done). Your belief that it is right is NOT evidence.Trék

Well said! There are still 36 more posts left here for valid people who have valid arguements; let's save the space for them .TrékEdited by Invictus, : horrible mess with copy-paste

Does this mean the animals were created twice? It helps to rid the contradiction, but only to bring up another question: why make animals twice? Why make them before Man and then after Man? Certainly just making Man first to start with would accomplish what you say here: And then we wouldn't need the extra creation of animals. That's a very interesting point of view. For now, I can't see much wrong with it. Despite the rest of your message, this part seems like it just might hold some water.Trék

If you bring the arguement to the table, you need the evidence. You can't bring up the arguement and tell us to go find evidence supporting your opinion!Nevertheless:
