The orginal speaks of the events inside of the garden and does not speak of an time line outside of the literal creation account.

Quote:Why can you live with the contradiction and still teach a literal understanding? That is a contradiction within a contradiction i.e. inception!We've had this discussion before. Jews then did not give a straight chronological account of an event. They started with an over view from start to completion and then went back and filled in the details the over view did not include.
