What's Best Reconciliation of Gen 1 and 2 You've Heard?

Hi Everyone.I am new to this forum, but have lurked for a while, and learned a lot about the topics. In this post I'm asking for help from those who know more about the Bible than I do, which is just about everyone . .I am corresponding with a friend about Bible inconsistencies, and raised the difference between Gen 1&2. Her reply does not really fit with the biblical account as I understand it."...So it was in the sixth creative period that land animals were formed.
...The historical account tells us that the Creator of the globe and life on it put the man he had made in a gardenlike area 'to cultivate it and take care of it'(Gen. 2:15). At that time the Creator may still have been producing new animal kinds. The Bible says 'God was forming from the ground every wild beast of the field and every flying creature of the heavens, and He began bringing them to to the man to see what he would call each one. . . "My correspondent seems confident that this resolves the inconsistency, but I cannot agree, and also am not certain that the tense of the verse is used correctly. I'd be very grateful for some other opinions.For the record, my understanding of Gen 1 & 2 at present is as outlined by Sylas in post 53 of the"Genesis: is it to be taken literally" thread.

Thanks for the advice Sylas, I'll fit in some practice time as soon as work settles a bit.It seems to me that the explanation that God "may still have been producing new animal kinds" when Adam was created is unsupported by anything written in Genesis.The views expressed in this thread and others - including the Babylonian origins of the myths - make much more sense to me.
