You read it and go figure.
Its an account of an event, why wouldn't there be some kind of sequence?
It's not sequential in all aspects that Genesis one is.
No, not exactly, but it does have adverbs like "then" that imply some sort of sequence:
quote:
Gen 2 (NIV):
5 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, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Going figuring would yield that the man was formed after the streams came up.
Ask Percy That was his point in the message link. No? Did you read the Percy message link?
To me, his point was that Gen 1 list some events in a different order than Gen 2 does, so they can't both be right.
Pfft. Protestants...
