Biblical "contradictions" #17: Which creation?

Many atheists like to exploit apparent errors in the bible. In this series of videos, I will be refuting some of the claims made by them.
This time, I refute one of the most over used (and easily refutable) claims, the two contradictiory creation accounts. The apparently contradicting accounts are found in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2.

On day three we have this:

Gen 1:12

"The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it"

Notice it says "PRODUCED vegetaion" not that the seeds were planted and waiting for water.

The trees are full grown trees with fruit!

How can you possibly say this next part is accurate about day six?

Gen 2:5

"no shrub of the field had YET appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up"

Please be honest

Genesis 2:5- "And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to the ground."

I think you're using a VERY misleading bible version there. What you've quoted is effectively the opposite of what Genesis 2:5 actually says.

your very young and quite brainwashed, your smart enough to download a video, i'd hope you'd be smart enough to know when your getting a fairy tale stuck up your fartbox

LOL! HAhahaha! You're arguing about genesis!

Yeah you are, where snake talks, Adams has sex with all animals, Woman is taken form man's rib, and where Yahweh punished his own creation for the way "he" made mankind. LOL! As if Yahweh didn't have enough trouble with Lucifer...HAHAHAHAHAHA! I love Christian apologetics, Entertaining!

Seriously, go stick your head in a hole.

Consider context. Gen 1:12 is obviously descriptive of how the plants came to be, it does not suggest that everything was already there. The answer is it still had to grow.

[jchandler1963]

Okay, KJV

Gen 1:12

"And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself"

Notice it says "BROUGHT FORTH" not that the seeds were planted and waiting for water.

The trees are full grown trees with fruit!

How can you possibly say this next part is accurate about day six?

Gen 2:5

"And every plant of the field BEFORE it was in the earth, and every herb of the field BEFORE it grew"

misleading? be honest!

Sorry not buying it. To believe Genesis to to believe the earth is only 6000 years old. Not even close.

[DeflocculatedDentist]

you should have actually quoted scripture. you just say "it says this, not this" without demonstrating anything.
