I always love this sort of nonsense because it only indicates that the writer doesn't understand Scripture at all. While Gen. Chapter 1 describes the physical actions involved in creation, Gen. 2 describes the how man is different from animals and how he has dominion over them - it's two different perspectives on the same event and has nothing at all to do with a second week of Creation...which by the way occurred in 6 days...

I agree with your position, and would reinforce it with Matthew 19:4,5. In verse 4, Jesus quotes Genesis 1:27 and in verse 5, He quotes Genesis 2:24. Chapters 1 and 2 quoted in one sentence! Jesus did not take them to be contradictory, but complementary.

The beginning of Genesis 2 is clear that 7th day has passed. Yours is the common view (that the later events in Genesis 2 are there to show that the creation of man was a "special" creation, a fact not in dispute), but there is nothing intrinsically linking the events in Genesis 2 to the 6th day (and if the beginning of Genesis 2 is to be believed, there is evidence to dispute it).
