most Christians do not know Genesis 1 and 2

[abe3]

In chapter one, near the end, it says that plants and animals were created and then man and woman.

In chapter 2 it says that man was created, then plant and animals, and then woman from man.

Talmudic Jews caught on to this. They name the woman in Chapter one Lilith and the one in Chapter 2, Eve.

You ever heard about flashbacks?

Sorry, I don't understand this comment. I do agree that the Universe was created by an intelligient being. i.e. God

[politas]

A far more reasonable interpretation is that Genesis 1 describes the creation of the world by "the gods" (plural elohim), while Genesis 2 describes the creation of the garden of Eden by Yahweh as his personal part of the world, with Adam and Eve being his personal people.

So many of the simple questions raised become clear with this reading. Cain and Abel's wives, anyone?

All you have to do is accept the possibility that the early Hebrews were originally, like all other cultures at the time, polytheistic.

Oh, and of course, you need to accept that the Bible is mythology.
