What's Best Reconciliation of Gen 1 and 2 You've Heard?

I never viewed this as a conflict. Gen 1 discusses creation in general with man and women being the last item listed. However, since it talks about the various animals being created before humans, you might conclude that they all were created before humans but that isn't necessarily so. So, Chapter 2 lists those animals created after humans which I have always understood to be "domestic" animals and birds. Factually, it is hypothesised that "man" domesticated wild animals. However, God could have helped out as the Genesis 2 account suggests by modifying those "wild" animals that could be used by the human couple. I have a dog that must be a direct decendent from one of those created for Adam because he sure is great. If you don't believe in God, just get a good dog and you will surely reconsider. Only God could create a good dog.
