Luke,
That was very helpful, but I still have some confusion.
I had personally been looking at Genesis 2 as an expansion of day 6 details. The reason being that after God forms all the different creatures out of the ground, and brings them to Adam to name, He then makes Eve. However, the Creation account of Genesis 1 says:
Ge*1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them.
So, Eve was created on the sixth day. This leads me to think that the events outlined in Genesis 2 are an expansion of day 6 events/details.
