In regards to the order of creation for humans & animals, Genesis 1 says that animals are created on day 6 followed by humans, while Genesis 2 says that animals are created to be companion for Adam after he is created.
I did alot of research in the internet but none has given yet a satisfactory response. The findings are below:
1) The animals mentioned in Genesis 2 may be another special group of animals for naming purpose (this doesn sounds valid to me, then what about the initial group of animals, doesn this mean they're unnamed?)
2) The hebrew word may possibly be translated wrongly, which should be 'had formed' instead of 'formed' in Genesis 2:19 (it doesn make any difference to me as it has been clearly stated that this 'batch' of animals are created in an attempt to become comparable helpers for Adam, which is the realization of God after Adam's creation)
3) Genesis 1 is in chronological order while 2 is solely for elaboration. (I think this doesn sound convincing which appears to be the last resort of force explaining the way out of the conflict)
Im not bias nor trying to prove the invalidity of the bible, rather hoping to see validity in this situation to help boosting my faith so to speak.
Anyone care care to share your view on this matter pls, thanks alot.
