Conflicting statements in the bible

[A_Nony_Mouse]

The same story with different detail. You can't get much more specific than changing which comes before the other in one and reversing the order in the other.

How about the same story from different points of view? Chapter 1 would necessarily be given by revelation, as man doesn't show up til near the end. Chapter 2 at some point seems to switch to Adam's point of view (consider particularly the aside on gold in v12).

What kind of point of view is it that gets the order of creation different? Which divine, infallible revelation is backwards, i.e. wrong, and why? How about a point of view that would be corrected by six grade composition by explaining to keep before and after the same?

order 1) both created at the same time
order 2) Man created, needs woman, woman created from rib

1) same means same
2) must have time in between to tell the story.

Genesis 1:26-27 Adam and Eve were created at the same time.
Genesis 2:7 and 2:21-22 Adam was created first, woman sometime later.

There are others

Genesis 1:11-12 and 1:26-27 Trees came before Adam.
Genesis 2:4-9 Trees came after Adam.

Genesis 1:20-21 and 26-27 Birds were created before Adam.
Genesis 2:7 and 2:19 Birds were created after Adam.

Genesis 1:24-27 Animals were created before Adam.
Genesis 2:7 and 2:19 Animals were created after Adam.

See Bible Contradictions for the rest of the contradictions that must be addressed with explanations which do not contradict each other. That means believers should take my advice and get together and agree on explanations. I will pit believer against believer when they present mutually exclusive explanations. (Prediction: I will be asked, What do you mean by mutually exclusive? rather than answer the mail.)

1) the United States was created before Columbus discovered America
2) the United States was created after Columbus discovered America

The third possibility is Columbus created the United States but I will leave that to another round with believers.

27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Yep. G-C. You certainly do have your head shoved firmly up your ass, as always.

So your "god" made man and woman and then told them to start fucking before he did anything else but YOU decide it does not mean what it says. Do you have a bible according to G-C kicking around somewhere? You have an amazing capability for self-delusion.

I'm surprised you aren't locked up in a padded cell for your own protection.

Ah, yes. The first commandment is to fuck like bunnies BUT the apple was the discovery of sex.

And on the 7th day the omnipotent, all powerful deity needed a rest because his head hurt from creating so many contradictions.
