The one where God made the animals first, as demonstrated in Genesis 1
Or the one where God made man first, in Genesis 2?

rosends: What do you think I'm doing? I am asking people on a religious forum if they can help me with this. Where else should I ask? In the park?

Everything in scripture that is of great importance is repeated at least 2 or 3 times - sometimes more often and new details are presented sometimes to give greater depth of meaning. This is why you can use scripture to interpret scripture.
Read it again carefully, you will see it is the same account of the creation of man repeated for greater meaning and more detail. Moses wrote all of genesis under the inspiration of the H.S.
But, yes, the animals were created on the 5th and part of the the 6th day, man created later on the 6th. The days of the week are a picture used to help explain prophesy - and to introduce the 7 day week we still use on the calander to this day.

The last thing you want to believe and/or follow is Genesis. Why, read some of the following, and decide if you wish to be party to such horror.
God is the greatest mass murderer in history.
References: Genesis 6:11-17 and Genesis 7:11-24
Some examples:
GE 6:13 - And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
GE 6:17 - And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Seems to me that God (for you believers) is annoyed with humanity other than his buddy Noah, and decides to kill (murder) every living thing on the face of the earth, except of course Noah and his family - got to have a few friends left.

Is Genesis 2 referring to "He created man before a woman" ? (See the contradictions present in Bible?) If you want to know how Creation works, read all of Genesis, study other relgions, too, read theories posted by scientists, study astronomy and watch a birth. Should be a good start.

Both, Gen 1 is the creation account for all of earthe, Gen 2 is where God zooms in on Eden and creates some animals in front of Adam to demonstrate His creative powers. Plus if your going to all the trouble to have Adam name all the animals, and bring them to him as well, why not just create them on the spot in front of him, seems a lot easier that way.

Intelligent Design Bible
1:1 In the beginning God banged the Universe into existence.
And God saw the Bang, and saw that it was Big.
1:2 And God said Let There Be Evolution and God walked away
for the next 14 Billion years.
-The End-

It is commonly believed that the first couple of pages have to do with the "potential realm", while Gen 3 was more concrete. Remember the doctrine that everything here is a mirror of it's archetype above. Some sort of feedback loop exists.

What the difference dude?
God made everything...
These accounts and all religions for that matter is merely a mortal way of communing with God
God has infinite intelligence. he is Omnipresent, and omniscient.
Love your neighbor as you love yourself and Acknoledge God in all things. Don't worry about the minutia of creation, get on with Life!
hope this helps

Neither. According to the ancient Persian creation story, we were all created from the rhubarb.

Grace unto you and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Created and made are two different things, as different as in Adam all die and in Christ all live, as different as law & grace, which are as different as death and life, destroyed & saved.
God said: "let us MAKE man",
one man, of 2 before/after options:
(i) in our image... law: living soul: mortal & corruptible
(ii) after our likeness... immortal grace: quickening spirit
with an obviosus objective of doing a compare-i-son
of first man Adam vs last Adam, as done in 1Cor 15.
2 "one man" scenarios also compared in Romans 5.
The God of all grace MAKE you perfect,
AFTER ye(do err) suffer awhile (in law).
The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
