Two brthers burnt offerings to God. One burnt his veggies, and one burnt animals? Veggie guy was pleasing to the Lord. Carcass guy wasn't? Carcass guy got angry at his brother. No? Then what did Cain offer? (I could be wrong.)
I do have a picture in my mind that Abel offered pumpkin. No idea where I came up with that one. Popcorn seems more reasonable.

Interesting parallel.
Water-flood
Water H[SUB]2[/SUB]0...two parts hydrogen.
What happens when all that hydrogen becomes 'loosed' luo from each other? Read creation wide hydrogen explosion.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved (loosed), and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
(2Pe 3:10)
Since all these things are thus to be dissolved (loosed), what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,
(2Pe 3:11)
waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved (loosed), and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!

While the multi-colors of visible light become visible when light passes through a prism, yet light refraction does not produce the curvature of the multl-colored lights, merely a new line of travel based upon the angle it is reflected.
The multi-colored arc of the refracted light is bowed as the result of the curvature of the atmosphere. As written in Genesis 9:14: "And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:" [See: Job 38:9]
In addition, it is written in Gen 9:16 that the LORD said the following:
"And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."

According to Genesis 2:5, there wasn't any plants, or even trees at the time in Genesis 2:6 reports the midst when up from the earth.
Of course that would be consistent with Genesis 1:2 which reports that the earth was void, or without any living thing and the entire face of the ground was covered under a deluge of water It wasn't until the LORD clothed the earth in a cloud that the dry ground begin to appear Genesis 1:9. Thus, after the dry land appeared the midst when up from the earth and watered the entire face of the ground.
However, Man was formed before the plants and trees were even in the earth considering that it was only after Man was formed in Genesis 2:7 that the garden was planted as written in Genesis 2:8
After all it is written, Genesis 6: "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth,....the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh:"

Didn't say anything about mankind, said the Man.
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Gen 2:5-6
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gen 2:7
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Gen 2:8
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food;
Gen 2:9
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Gen 2:22-23
Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, Matt 19:4

I couldn't figure out how to match gen 1 and gen 2 until I found this
**************
The Hebrew word for “formed” in both passages is yatsar. The New King James Version (quoted above) translates the verb in its perfect form.
However, this Hebrew word may also be translated in its pluperfect form. In this case, it would read that God “had formed” these creatures, as some other translations have it (e.g. ESV, NIV, etc.) For example, Genesis 2:19 in the NIV states:
“Now the LORD God *had formed* out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them.” (emphasis mine)

so I think the order of stuff is told in gen 1, then gen 2 gives more details, especially about adam.

That cannot be true - because, you would never see the 'ends' of the bow at ground level - instead, they would "disappear over the horizon" at a fixed [ apparent ] altitude...
Additionally, the arc of the bow would [ strictly ] have to be a circular arc ( with every part of the bow at the same [ apparent ] altitude ) to meet the requirement of your statement.
In reality, the curvature of the arc of the bow is more parabolic than circular ( different parts of the bow appear at different altitudes, from the top of the bow high in the sky all the way down to ground level at the ends ) - and, does not match the supposed [ circular ] curvature of the atmosphere - and, at least one end of the bow can usually always be seen at ground level [ well ] within the extent of the horizon limits.

Thanks for the feedback; I appreciate it, because I wasn't aware how I come across. As Tintin correctly noted, I was not angry. The smiley face at the end of my post was to indicate that.
There are some people on this forum (and I don't mean you) who make doctrinal statements from biblical silence. This practice frustrates me a little, because often they defy reason, logic, and principles of sound exegesis. However, it was wrong of me to direct that frustration at you. So, my apologies.
