What Genesis Two Says

Why is this topic in the Coffee House? Can I move it to Faith@Belief, Buz?This poor coffee house must have a waiting line around the block! Now, as for how to interpret scripture,,(or Genesis Two) I've not yet decided what I believe. Anyone have any ideas?

I have a few questions.1) As for God resting after doing lots of work....why would a Creator of all seen and unseen even get tired? Or am I not correctly understanding the context and meaning of the word, "rest"? Evidently its a special day, because God blessed it. (the seventh day)And do we know whether these so called days were 24 hour ones? Thousand year ones? Or perhaps .00001314 ones? 2)

Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground

I suppose I can believe that God created rain as well as migrant laborers. But whoever is narrating this passage, how the heck do they know what reasons God has for doing these alleged things? Ive no argument that God does things...though I do question the author of this scripture and his/her relationship with God.

9 The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the groundtrees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Do trees grow in a different method today then they did back then? Why didnt those two particular trees have any seed bearing offspring? And what type of fruit was on them? Apples? Oranges?
4) Good point, but perhaps a better question is this: In our daily personal observation of other humans, do we see any evidence that some people are cursed and others are blessed? Or am I stepping out of line with the topic?
