"This is a feasable answer to the apparent contradiction."

So much for a plain reading. when you have to start developing feasible answers to apparent contradictions, you are no longer just accepting the plain, simple reading of the text.

Yes, that is a way of reconciling the two. But, in doing so, you forfeit any claim to simple, plain reading. Your interpretive process is fully involved to come up with a reading which is NOT the plain reading.

When I read them literally, I see no way of reconciling them without abandoning the literal reading. When I abandon the literal reading, they make sense because they are no longer to retain complete historical and chronological accuracy.


I am not talking about when mankind's creation was finished. I am talking about when mankind's creation was began. God creates the animals in Genesis 1: 24-25. God begins the creation mankind in Genesis 1: 26-27, after He created the animals.

Male and female equals man and woman, both of which are created after the animals.
