[Vanhalla]

God created the heavens and the earth and darkness covered the face of the deep
Let there be light, and the light was good.
Day 1 God separated the light from the darkness.
Day 2 Heaven and earth were meshed together, so he created a vault to separate water from water.
Day 3 Dry land and gathered sea. The earth produced growing things, that produce their own seed and fruit, with each their own kind. It was good.
Day 4 Sun, moon, constellations
Day 5 Created all sea beast of their various kinds, and birds that fly across the vault ‘Be fruitful and increase.’
Day 6 ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures’
‘Let us make human beings in our image after our likeness. To have dominion over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, all wild animals on land, and everything that creeps on the earth.’
Be fruitful and increase. It was good.
Day 7 God finished all the work of creation.

Adam and Eve – The story of the heavens and the Earth after there creation
Heaven and earth were created before the first day, then God separated the light from darkness. On day two all the water was together, so he separated the heavens and the earth. On day three dry land, sea, and growing things were created. On the fourth day celestial bodies were produced. On the fifth day sea animals and birds, on the sixth, animals and humans.

In 2:15 – 2:20 Adam is placed in the garden of Eden to look after it and is informed of the tree of knowledge, and is advised not to eat from it. God then forms all wild animals and birds. According to the first chapter, birds were created on the fifth day and man was created on the sixth, after animals were created.

At first glance this appears to be a contradiction, but upon further examination, it is not. Man before the fall is on the higher, less dense and very blissful realm of earth. After the fall, they are clothed in skin and worry and judgement and fear.

Could you fellow totsians give me your interpretation of how man before and after the fall relates to the 7 days of creation ?
