Is there a Contradiction between the two Creation Accounts?
MBS TEXTE 114 The alleged contradiction between the two reports in Genesis 1 and 2 has unfortunately become the prevailing opinion of our society. Even various translations of the Scriptures have adopted it. The historical-critical theory assumes, on the basis of the names of God used in them, that the the two narratives originated from separated sources, an elohistic one and a yahwistic one, and believes them to be two completely unreconcilable conceptions.
