Contradictions between the two Genesis creation stories

Greetings,I'd like to discuss contradictions between the two creation stories found in Genesis 1 and 2. I have listed some contradictions below (not in order):1) Genesis 1:31 because everything God created was complete after 6 days but in Genesis 2:4 LORD God created the heavens and earth in a day.2) Genesis 1:27 because God created male and female at the same time but according to Genesis 2:5-20 LORD God created male and then created female later(2:20).3) The word God/Elohim is used in Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3 but in Genesis 2:4-25 LORD God/YHWH Elohim is used.4) The overall order of creation in Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3 is different than in Genesis 2:4-25.5) Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3 the creation story seems to be more sophisticated than the creation story in Genesis 2:4-25.6) Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3 each thing created was considered good but in Genesis 2:5-20 it seems creation was a process of trial and error.7) Genesis 1:26 because there seems to be more than God creating but in Genesis 2:4-25 there is only LORD God creating.8) Genesis 1:29 because all plants are available for eating but in Genesis 2:16-17 some plants are off limits to eat.9) Genesis 1:28 because humans subdue the earth but in Genesis 2:15 humans serve the earth.10) Genesis 1:21-22 because the purpose for animals is not related to humans but in Genesis 2:18-19 the purpoose for animals is related to humans.Here are some links to Genesis chapters 1 and 2.

Hi Tthzr3,I normally focus on science topics, but since none of the other moderators have picked this up I've given it a look. Could you please make these changes:

• Change the title to "Contradictions between the two Genesis creation stories".

• Change the first paragraph to read:

• In the following paragraphs, change the word "indication" to "contradiction" or some other synonym. Your current terminology makes them to be "indications of contradictions", but you're better off just calling them contradictions.

Post a reply to this when you're done editing your opening post and I'll take another look.--Percy
