Contradictions in the Bible

Again, my opponent doesn't seem to see the contradiction so let me lay it out quite plainly. The texts are copied and pasted above so I'm really going to get it down to the bare bones to show the contradiction. 1) Genesis. Plants before man? Or man before plants?Genesis 1:12-13, 27, 31b And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them... And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.Genesis 2:5a, 7, 9And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: ... the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul... And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.Clearly Genesis 1 has plants, including trees, herbs, and whatever else, on day three before the creation of man. In Genesis 2, man's creation comes first. BEFORE plants. And my opponent's attempt to reconcile it only exasperated the point. Plants were made after man in Genesis 2. Including plants. My opponent's consistently demeaning remarks that I did not read the text are unfounded. I have written papers from the original language on this passage multiple times.2) Different crowd?My opponent offers that perhaps Jesus just met a different crowd to feed and that's why there are differences, back-pedaling from his previous position that there was no contradiction. Is that a plausible idea? No. It is not. Here are a couple reasons.1) The Gospel of John is 90% different in material from the Synoptic (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) Gospels. If there are similarities, it is a big deal and probably the same event.2) The general chronology is the same. Fairly early in Jesus' ministry. Feeding of the five thousand followed by walking on water. Again, Mark and John are so dissimilar that any chronological similarity is very important.3) Similarities in the story are present. Yes, there are contradictions, but there are also similarities to let us know this is the same story. Five loves and two fish. Jesus tells the people to sit in groups. The quote that 200 denarii of bread would not be enough. The number of people. Twelve baskets of leftovers... this is the same story.4) This is geographically in the same place: the mountain-hill country area on the western side of the sea of Galilee.This is the same story... and it contains contradictions3) Jesus rides a donkey and a colt? Or just a donkey?My opponent does not see the contradiction, still. So let me draw it out.Matthew: Jesus asks for a donkey and a colt, they get a donkey and a colt, they saddle a donkey and a colt, and Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey and a colt. Matthew 21:7 "And brought the (donkey), and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.Mark: Jesus asks just for a colt, they get just a colt, they saddle just a colt, and Jesus rides into Jerusalem on just a colt.Mark 11:7 "And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him."And I can guarantee you Jesus rode into Jerusalem only once.I again await my opponent's response. We have two more rounds of this. So far he seems to have admitted a contradiction in the feeding of the 5,000 and decided it was two separate incidents. However, as I have shown, this is not the case. I got sick of writing @ss and will just make it donkey from here on out.
