Genesis 2 is a continuation of Genesis 1 and doesn't contradict it.

Thank you for your prompt arguments Con.-My opponents still insists that Genesis 2 contains a new account of the eventsby mentioning those verse that don't show in any way that the author isrecounting the same story again I will paste the verses and the interpretationof each verse after it :4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they werecreated, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,(This is the true account ( the one mentioned in Genesis 1) of thecreation of the heavens and earth, when the lord made them).5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb ofthe field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon theearth, and there was not a man to till the ground.(and all the flora before it actually grew on earth, for the lord did not causeit to rain on earth since he created it, and there were no living menyet to work the land.)6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of theground.(But God caused it to rain on the whole face of the land) 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathedinto his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.(God made man from the dust of the ground of earth, and m to be alive ( here Godtold us about 2 ingredients only, it deosn't lean he didn't use more.))8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the manwhom he had formed.(This one is clear Eden is a Garden that already exists, nothing says it's on earth.)9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasantto the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of thegarden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.(In this new Garden that God made , God made a variety of trees, including2 special trees , the tree of life, and the tree of knowledge). -This new garden that is on the east of the garden of Eden, is notsaid to be located on earth, so one cannot make assumptions like this, and ifwe go to genesis 3, at the end of the chapter we get a hint that the Garden ofeden is not on earth:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence hewas taken.-The ground from where Adam was taken is the land of planet earth, there hewas sent forth. so Eden is not the land where he was taken from ( to be shapedin the first place) and cannot be on earth. -But the point is that the above verses from Genesis 2 are not a new account ofthe creation of the heavens and the earth, they even contain a verse thatcloses the account of the creation, that goes along Genesis 1 to the firstpart of Genesis 2, of the heavens and the earth which is verse 4.-And right after verse 4 God starts to speak about thebeginning of man life, so then the heavens and earth already existand are completed. Now I refute the arguments for contradictions: CON: " Now I will clarify here that while I will focus on mainly onhow Genesis 1 and 2 contradict each other, I will also point out that there arenumerous other contradictions within the first two chapters that go on to contradictOTHER passages in the Bible, case in point the fact that while Genesis 2:2-3 ashighlighted above in Pro's intro claims that God rests on the Sabbath, John5:16-17 claims that God and Jesus always work on the Sabbath:"-I say this is disrespectful of our debate, our debate has boundaries, and thenew testament does not interest the topic of our debate, so I'm not sure whatis the point of this argument ?! CON: " Humans And Other Animals - In Genesis 1:25-27, Godcreates humans after the other animals, as well as notably creating man andwoman at the same time in Genesis 1:27"-And I say that God created fauna and flora in 2 steps , he created theirseeds and kinds first (which he mentioned in Genesis 1) then he gave themlife ( which he mentioned in Genesis 2 ) , and there is no reason to beconfused.CON " Time It Took To Create Heavens And Earth - Genesis 1:3 -1:31 claim that it took 6 days, with God resting on the seventh day in Genesis2:1-3. However, Genesis 2:4 says quite the opposite"-This misunderstanding is due to the ignorance from my opponent of theHebrew language. When God says "in the day that the LORD God madethe earth and the heavens" this is equivalent to him saying "whenGod made the earth and the heavens" and doesn't mean He made them inone day. Different languages have different ways to saythings. CON "Plants - In the quote from Genesis 2:4-9 I highlighted in myObjective 1 section, plants are clearly created AFTER humans, but according toGenesis 1:11-13, the plants came first:"-The first verses , Genesis 1 accounts the creation of the seedsof the Flora and Kinds of the Fauna before they are alive,However, Genesis2 When God formed man and gave him life , he placed him in a new Garden ,nothing says it is on earth, but the place is In the Gardens of the heaven, andI've shown above.CON: " Fowls, and other animals - This relates to from whatthey were created from. Genesis 1:20-21 says that they were created from thewater. Genesis 2:19, however, says the following. Yeah, the ground. Clock upyet another contradiction between the two Genesis chapters."-There is no contradiction Here, every living is made of water , and the faunais made from the ground, so we have two ingredients at least forthe Fauna and one at least for the flora ! where is the problem?! CON: " dam and trees - In Genesis 1:29, no tree appears to beoff-limits to mankind. However, in Genesis 2:17, suddenly Adam isn'tallowed to eat from every tree."-That's a good point, God made one tree forbidden to man in the new Garden,next to the Garden of Eden, but all the trees on earth are allowed to man,that's another proof Eden is not on earth actually. so as God didnot place Adam directly on earth, in order to test his obedience, then whenAdam disobeyed, God sent him back to Earth where all the trees are allowed, but there is no tree of life, and this just mean he no longer is eternal.CON: "Water - Genesis 1:6-8 has the earth completely coveredin water, leading to God commanding the waters to separate so that lands andsea are established. Pro claims that the contradiction with Genesis 2:5-6,where the earth is completely dry, is purely just some sort of weird waterconnection between heaven and earth first, and then trying to claim that plantsactually didn't get created until Genesis 2, even though we have quite clearlyestablished they were apparently created in Genesis 1, and nothing in Genesis 1supports Pro's assertion that it was just seeds that were created."-The lack of details in Genesis 1 should not let you assume more thanyou read. when in Genesis 1 Waters are first kept on earth andseparated from waters of the heavens ' which shows that the origin of waters onearth ore from waters of heavens. then God placed the heavens between them sothey are no longer connected.Then a second step and still In Genesis 1 God caused the dry Land to appear , sothere was the land and the sea , and the creation is not of 24 hours kindof days but each day mentioned in Genesis 1 is equivalent to 1000 years that weknow . so by the end of the creation thousands of years have passed andthe land with its seeds did not get any rain! until God caused it to rainafter the end of the creation as he mentioned in Genesis 2:6.Finally CON argues about the Garden of Eden and insists that itlogically should be on earth because when God cursed the eastern GardenHe made it impossible to reach the tree of life for anyone. But this doesn'tmean that Eden is on earth, in fact, as God sent Adam Back to were he belonged,which is earth GEN 3: 23, had enough significance that Eden and theeastern Garden are not on earth but in Heaven.With this I made it enough clear that what my opponent calls contradictions isnothing but misunderstanding the wholly scripture originalmeaning.
