morbid curiosity here, but, what are these two conflicting creation stories you claim are in Genesis?
Is this one of those "I can't tell the difference between a detailed story and the summary that prefaced it" things?

Actually, the first one is the one just about everyone knows: everything was created in an order within 6 days, Adam and Eve were created on the last day, and God rested on the 7th day, thus creating the week. The second story, however, is quite different: The Earth pretty much already existed, then God made Adam first out of clay, and then Eve from one of Adam's ribs. Animals and plants were created after.

I am getting sick and tired of these half-assed dinosaur documentaries you see on Discovery and National Geographic. Walking with Dinosaurs has set a standard 10 years ago. It's about damn time for something that can go beyond our expectations.

So it's a combination of misunderstandings here. One is that when he said "male and female he created them" he was summarizing, then went back into detail describing how it went. (you're not the only one to get confused though, apparently friggin RABBIS didn't understand that, and invented the concept of Lilith to explain it..) it's kinda sad, since the bible uses this storytelling method SEVERAL TIMES, and so does a lot of other stories from many cultures.. for some reason people hear a summary and get confused.

As for the rest of what you said about earth existing already, animals and plants being created after man, I don't know where you're getting that but it's not in genesis.

What? No no, I'm trying to say that the first story says that man and woman were created on the last day and the second story says that they were created on the first. That's conflicting information.

Right, and I am saying there is no second story where it says they were created on the first. You're misinformed.
