Why are there two versions of Creation in the Bible
In Genesis, chapters 1 and 2 describe two different versions of creation, and they contradict each other in the order in which things are created. In chapter 1, God created things in this order:
- plants
- creatures of the sea and air
- creatures of the land
- man and woman together
In chapter 2 he creates them in the following order:
- man
- plants, including the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil
- creatures of the land and air
- woman
If the Bible is infallible, then both versions must be true. How can that be?
