Creation or Evolution?

Heres a bit of good oddness in the bible that my anthropology teacher told my class one day: There are 2! versions of the creation story, one after another. The first says that the world was made, then man, then plants and animals, and later woman. The second says that the world was made, then plants and animals, then man, and later woman. Really throws a wrench in you plans for world domination when you give two different versions of how things came to be huh?

Not really when you consider that they were two different authors and thousands of years before you're reading the current Bible. Read about redactor criticism or "JEPD".

Note that when I say "criticism" I don't mean negative remarks. It means something different when you're talking about literature.
