‘I’ll go with the Biblical account of the genesis of things.’ which one, Gen 1 or Gen 2...?

Explain please.

[IrishBrigade]

‘Explain please.’

there are two separate accounts of creation in Gen 1:1-2:3 and Gen 2:4-3:24, which is a widely known fact; many Christians regard them as two totally separate myths haing a similar premise; others see it as two separate chapters of the same story...suffice it to say that the first tale regards the creation of the cosmos, with man as the final crowning touch, while the second regards humankind as the primal creation, with animals created afterwards to be Adam’s mate, which of course he was not happy with, so God created woman for him
