This is spawned off from another thread but we need to not hijack that thread any longer.
That's fairly contradictory, alright.
I find it hard to reconcile to literal interpretations of Genesis one and two. If everything isn't meant to be taken exactly as literal events, I don't think they necessarily contradict.
Actually it didn't contradict.
One says animals came first the other man came first. That is indeed a contradiction.

Where does it say that in chapter 2? It doesn't.

It says it very clearly in the passages quoted in the op.
No it doesn't say that. Please point out the exact lines that contradict. You will find they don't.
Actually it didn't contradict.
GEN 1: god made animals and then said let us make man....
GEN 2 says: now the lord HAD formed..... implying that the animals HAD already been created before man.
I don't see the contradiction.
Actually, it does. In the first quote, the animals came first, then man was created in God's image. In the second quote, Man existed before the animals did, they were brought forth from the ground to find him a helper.
In genesis one, man and woman were made simultaneously, both after the animals. In genesis 2, man came first, then the plants, then animals, then woman last.
Explain how that doesn't contradict. (hint: a second response along the lines of "nuh uh! it doesn't contradict" does not explain how they don't contradict)

had formed out of the ground does not imply that they had already been created.
that still doesn't address the time error between man and woman being created simultaneously in genesis 1, but at very different times in genesis 2.
Show the exact quote in chapter 2 that says man came before the animals. It is not there. That isn't me saying nuh uh, it is me telling you that it is simply not there. You should read the verse a little more closely and not add in what isn't there.
then I guess we have different opinions on what the word "had" means.....
GEN 1: god made animals and then said let us make man....
GEN 2 says: now the lord HAD formed..... implying that the animals HAD already been created before man.
I don't see the contradiction.
