Actually, Gen 1 and 2 are generally considered to be alternative creation myths originating from different segments of ancient Israelite religion. Both were combined in the formation of the Book of Genesis, well after the destruction of Jerusalem in the 6th cent. B.C.E.

Let's be clear: believing in
creation is quite different from believing in
creationism or
intelligent design. The first is merely ahope or a supposition that the world, the universe, and everything in it may be the product of something or someone beyond the material constrains of what we know. The latter assumes that a creator or an intelligence behind the world, the universe and everything in it may be observed and known through science.
