Pardon me while I "drift" back to a prior point in the discussion:
Pete assured us that what some take to be discrepancies between the first and second creation narratives in Genesis are actually simply a matter of the second narrative focusing in on some of the details.

Genesis 1:11-13 tell us that plant life was created on the third day. Verses 26-31 tell us that human beings, male and female, were created on the sixth day.

Genesis 2:4-7 narrates how, before there was plant life, God created Adam. God then planted the garden of Eden for him.

Does "focusing in on some of the details" mean that the narrator first focused from one end of time, and then focused from the other end of time? Or?
