SB:First creation account

Bible->OT->Book of the Father->Genesis->First creation account->Ge 1

		A different creation story? NO! It is claimed that this first account of creation contradicts the second account in Gen 2:4-25. This is an invented problem. The second account starts with v. 6. Genesis 1 is written in a literay style which can be mapped similar to poetry. It is of the form ABCabcA. A = Day 1 - 'heavens and earth' and 'light'. B = Day 2 - 'water' C = Day 3 - 'dry ground' a = Day 4 - 'lights'. Note v17 mentions heaven and earth. b = Day 5 - 'waters' c = Day 6 - 'earth' A = Summary - heavens and earth. Verse 5 clarifies which heavens and earth since it is also mentioned on Day 4. It is a bookend to the 'heavens and earth' BEFORE the plants and the herbs which were created on Day 3 (v.12). The contradiction is invented.
