However, even if you assumptions were true (and I see no reason to think they are) it still does not address the fact that both the order as presented in the Genesis 1 fable and in the Genesis 2 fable are factually wrong.
The Earth is not created before the sun.
The first plants were not seed bearing.
Life on land did NOT come before life in the sea.
The topic is NOT the conflicts between Genesis and scientific discovery. It IS the perceived conflicts within Genesis, specifically between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2.
As the topic title says - Genesis 1 vs. Genesis 2.

Added by edit:
This is in a Science forum dealing with Biblical accuracy.
The real truth is, it seems that this topic should be in the "Bible Study" forum. Will consider if it should be moved at this point in the discussion.

When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon. There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot. Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots.
