It has been suggested that Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 are contradictory. This isn't the case. While Chapter 1 covered the 30,000 foot view of the Creation Week, Chapter 2 covers the details of Day 6 with special geographic interest in the Garden of Eden.

The two records are complimentary rather than contradictory. For example, Genesis 1 tells us man and woman were made on the same day. Genesis 2 tells us that man was made likely a few hours before woman, but still on the same day.
