Just to keep this thread on topic, allow me to repost the first message:
I'd like to discuss the contradictions between Genesis 1 and 2. I have listed a few contradictions below (not in order):
1) Genesis 1:31 because everything God created was complete after 6 days but in Genesis 2:4 LORD God created the heavens and earth in a day.
(refuted) post 160.
2) Genesis 1:27 because God created male and female at the same time but according to Genesis 2:5-20 LORD God created male and then created female later(2:20).
(refuted) post 160.
*The word God/Elohim is used in Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3 but in Genesis 2:4-25 LORD God/YHWH Elohim is used.
Not a contradiction just an interesting point.
3) The overall order of creation in Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3 is different than in Genesis 2:4-25.
*Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3 the creation story seems to be more sophisticated than the creation story in Genesis 2:4-25.
Not a contradiction just an interesting point.
4) Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3 each thing created was considered good but in Genesis 2:5-20 it seems creation was a process of trial and error.
5) Genesis 1:26 because there seems to be more than God creating but in Genesis 2:4-25 there is only LORD God creating.
6) Genesis 1:29 because all plants are available for eating but in Genesis 2:16-17 some plants are off limits to eat.
7) Genesis 1:28 because humans subdue the earth but in Genesis 2:15 humans serve the earth.
8) Genesis 1:21-22 because the purpose for animals is not related to humans but in Genesis 2:18-19 the purpose for animals is related to humans.
Here are some links to Genesis chapters 1 and 2.

What Is A Discussion Board Anyway?
New Topics should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Keep them short and don't attempt to explain your entire point in the first post. Allow others to respond so that you can expand your discussion.
If you are warned by an administrator or moderator for any reason that is not explained in the Forum Guidelines you can argue your case here.
If you are not promoted, feel free to discuss your reasons with the administrator in the Proposed New Topics Forum who responded to your topic proposal. Feel free to edit and modify your topic and inform the administrator that you have done so.
You may also take your argument here and get feedback from other administrators.
Usually, we leave topic promotion to the first administrator that responds, unless that administrator invites others to comment.************************************
