Buzsaw,
Any fool can see that Chapter 2 does not discuss creation days. Nobody is making an argument based on that point.
When the verses say that God did x, then y, that is an explicit statement that x came before y. I would expect that at least some literalists would insist on that such an ordering not be ignored. If you aren't such a literalist, perhaps we can just note that point and move on.
In this case the text, at least in the translations cited in this thread, says that Adam had no help meet. God made some animals, but there was still no help meet for Adam. Then God made a help meet.
Regardless of on which one of the 7 creation days the above occurred, the text clearly describes an order of creation that is man, at least some of the animals, and then woman.
Yes it is true that Chapter 2 silent about a lot of other things that are described in Chapter 1. But if we are only looking for contradictions, we need not look at the things that are not described both in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.
If you disagree, it would be helpful if you made your point by referring to the text rather than tossing around gratuitous slams and accusations that others cannot read.
Please leave the testy shtick to me. You cannot pull it off.
