Genesis 1 gives the chronology of events. Genesis 2 gives the other details.
The fact that Genesis 2 restates that things were created doesn't mean they are being created again.
There are definitely two different tales told in Genesis 1&2. Not only are the orders different, the methods are different. It is not a case of things being created again, it is that the two descriptions are mutually exclusive. In one, everything is created from non-living matter, dirt. In the other, woman is cloned from an existing living critter, man. In one, male and female are created at one time and the number of each is unspecified. In the other, there is only one man and one woman and they are created at different times. In one, man and woman are created before the animals. In the other, man is created first, then all the animals, and finally the woman.

Re: Genesis is not the topic here.
