Good thread. Last winter I came also the conclusion that Adam was created on the third day. Those that deny it are also denying that the Bible is true, accurate, and inerrant. When I see posters here talking about "priestly" writers and other writers all hodge-podging Genesis together, I know they aren't believers. Their words can be freely dismissed.
Here is an article I wrote yesterday, before discovering this thread. It lays out Genesis 1 and 2 side by side for comparison purposes, and has some exposition. I hope you enjoy it.
