I've been reading the bible and almost finish it... but when i look back at the beginning chapters of Genesis.. I found it very confusing...(?)
Ok, here it is... it's all about the creation accounts...
I found out that the 1st and 2nd Chapter of Genesis are two creation accounts..
As I observed the first creation account (Gen. 1:1-31) is a general description of how God created the universe and the earth... The second account is (Gen. 2:4-25) which describe the detailed creation of the earth and the humans..
But each account does not fit into each other... the chronological arrangement of creation has been distorted...
Look at these:
1st account: (Gen. 1:1-31)
1. Light -
2. Sky (atmosphere)
3. Dry Ground - Vegetation
4. Sun, Moon, Stars
5. Birds and Fishes
6. Beast and Man (male and female)
7. God rested
2nd AccountGen2:4-25)
1. Earth
2. Bodies of water
3. Man
4. Vegetation
5. Beast - birds, fishes and all kinds of animals
6. Woman
The order of first account is entirely different from the second one... The fist account it says Man (Male and Female) are made at the same day and the last creation of all creations, before God rested.. While the second account it says Woman is the last creation after the animals and vegetation.. And the Adam (male) is created before the vegetations and the beast... (???)
How come?...
And the first account also is a questionable one... If God created the vegies before the Sun... How can plant's survive without the Sun?
Can somebody have a simple explanation for this? because i tried to question one of our theologians for this confusing order of creation accounts.. and i'm not yet satisfied for His answers...
Help please... i need some answers...
