I don't know if naming all the animals would take up most of my day. I do believe animals were very simple in his time. I believe after Noah, animals adapted to many environmental habitats by creating new species. So I think it wouldn't be that hard. It says he created man, not a boy and raised it till a certain age. I believe everything was created first mature or called into maturity once created.
The term 'adam' is used interchangeably between Adam & Eve...the term represents mankind.
The text states that Adam, the male, named all the animals everywhere.....do you think that he named the elephants, giraffes, penguins, etc, etc..in 24 hrs from the garden? Seems too far fetched for the thinking person.
No...it would have taken him months, or years to do that.....long enough to know that he never came across anyone like himself...

Of course, Adam named Eve....
If Noah can gather all the animals in pairs, which would take a long time, in sure naming animals would be a lot quicker. I can name every simple-well known animal such as a elephant in less than a day. It might take me an hour or two depending on if I can memorize every animal. At least he saw them! I can't! lol. How do you know he wasn't naming them while pretty young Eve over there is talking to some serpent lol.
Adam: Hey honey I'm back from naming (or memorizing) the rest of the animals, what's this???
Eve: it's a special fruit eat it.
Lol!!

So...what you are saying is that Adam was born with the ability to cultivate a garden without having been taught...that Adam already knew speech and the ability to form sentences and create new words....and find out which tree was for food and which tree was forbidden...and discover that he was lonely...all in a 24hr day...?
Little wonder people from outside the faith think this is crazy....

So you believe that God created the world, with intricate subatomic laws that define all physics and matter, and delicate systems and dependent subsystems of principles that are necessary for there to be any logic or predictability in the universe, ...but can't create a full grown man? Sounds like you don't have a very smart god. (Little "g", because that one ain't mine.)
Do you realize how intensely complicated creation is? God did that. And He says that He alone keeps it all together. Why do you feel like you have to apologize for how He said He did it. He's God! He can do it however He pleases.

Can a bush be miraculously in flames without consuming it?
If you read genesis 2:15-17, it answers most of your questions. Why can't the Lord give man common knowledge? Does the Lord have boundaries in what He makes or performs?
If they think we are crazy, it's because they are seeing it with secular perception.

Gen 2:15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
This verse does not say that Adam learned how to do it on the day He was created. It states intent of why Adam was placed in the Garden.
Gen 2:22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
Where are you fitting time into this?
Genesis 2:22 Lexicon: The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
there is no hebrew word in this passage denoting any span of time.
actually, 935 (and brought) denotes "urgency in coming, as if to aid the wounded" "violently charging, as to invade or overtake". That is the opposite of what you were saying!

Who said he finished it? The bible doesn't say he completed everything. Give him a break, while he was alone God saw he needed a helper, He made him go into a deep sleep while creating a helper using his own flesh, his own rib.
Look you stress over this, why is it so big for the Lord to create man with the capacities of understanding common sense? Plus His garden already had plants to support him for food. He had to take care of the garden.
