Genesis 1 and 2.

Genesis 1

The chronology of the creation of the world.

Day 1: Let there be light. Day and night.
Day 2: Chasm to separate the waters above from below - Sky.
Day 3: Waters below gather together and dry land appears. Vegetation starts to grow.
Day 4: Sun, moon, stars.
Day 5: Birds of the air, creatures of the sea.
Day 6: Creatures of the land, Man.
Day 7. Rest

Genesis 2

A new chronology?

It seems erroneous and contradictory that Chapter 2 is ordered differently from the events of Chapter 1. This seeming debaucle has been a huge debate and point of attack for many atheists/non-believers to fault the authenticity and infallibility of the Bible.

The order of Chapter 2 is mentioned as follows:

The apparent chronology appears as follows:

1) No shrub yet. 

2) Man was formed

3) Man was placed into Eden

4) Man formed woman.

5) Birds and animals were named by Adam

Items 1 and 2 are the point of contradiction. 

Now vegetation and plants were created before Adam but it seems that there were no shrubs before Adam was created thus messing up the chronology in Chapter 1.  The key is to understanding what a shrub is. The word shrub is translated from the Hebrew - siach (שִׂ֫יחַ)  which denotes bush, while the other kinds of vegetation and plants mentioned in Chapter 1 come from the words deshe' (grass), 'eseb mazria zera (seed yielding herbs) and (ets pariy) fruit trees.

Now, get ready to be mindblown: Bushes have thorns and thorns did not exist - not until the fall of man in Chapter 3.

Therefore, plants have been created already but the bush at that point in time has not yet sprung-not until man sinned for the first time. Read Chapter 3.

Hence, Chapter 2 is pretty much a depiction of the events happening in Day 6 rather than a  mis-attempted chronological blunder.
