In Genesis 1, animals are created on the 5th and 6th days, then man and woman.
In Genesis 2, Adam is created and then animals, then Eve.
Genesis 1, God separates the night from the day on day 1. But the sun and moon are created on day 4. Whoever wrote this did not know why there was a day and night on Earth.
In Genesis 2, God creates the animals so Adam won't be lonely, he wants to create a "helpmeet" for Adam.
God: So, Adam, are you sure you don't like the platypus?
Adam. No. Nor the tyrannosaurus nor the giant ground sloth.
The Bible in Genesis 2 here paints God as a goofy idiot.
The Earth is not flat nor 6,000 years old.
And science knows all this. Many years ago when I took geology courses at the University of Houston, the first thing the professor did was run through this for sake of those who had no idea that the Bible is scientifically speak, useless hooey.
