Yeah, i thought you would say that which brings us to the contradiction i mentioned.
In Genesis chapter one we are told that god created the animals and then created man and that it was very good.
However, in Genesis chapter two we are told that god makes man and then sees that it is NOT good that the man is alone and so creates animals for companions but none are suitable and THEN he makes a woman.
So we're facing two contradictions here:
1) Were animals created before or after Adam?
2) Was god's creation very good or not good?
God created everything perfect

Chapter 2 is a more detailed version of chapter 1. If God wanted to create more animals, doesn't He have that right to?

Nope. A common apologetic but obviously fails to address either criticism because adding detail means adding more information to previous information, not altering previous information.
Genesis 1 says god created the animals and THEN man and called it very good while Genesis 2 says god created man, saw that it was NOT good that he was alone, made animals for companions and THAT STILL FAILED and finally created a woman.
If you can answer nothing else, answer me this: When god created Adam and this was a perfect creation.... why did he find that something about that creation was not good and seek to rectify that lack in Adam's experience?

Amen!! He sure did!! And I've not noticed any other so-called "gods" doing that.
I'm sure you've noticed that there is none like Yahweh. The Bible says so. The other so-called gods, given from what the Bible says, are actually not gods at all. They are made of man-made material. They cannot hear, speak, nor see, and that's why the Bible says there's only one God. There is no other like Yahweh that exists, actually. They are simply idols, as described in the bible. Not flesh and blood like Jesus was on Earth until he transformed after the resurrection into his spiritual body.

We all have different perspectives on every issue because of our unique life experiences.
I base my opinions on an in-depth critical reading and analysis of the biblical fairytale. And, since I know good from evil, I classify the biblical God's behavior as hateful and evil. There are countless scenes in the Bible where the God character is pure evil. It even says that he created evil.
Not from where I'm standing.

I base my testimonies on the Truth which is God's Word. You have yet to show that His Word isn't the Truth.

@GodSpeed63 Do you know what they call people who discipline their children while in the throes of an outburst of bad temper?
They call them defendants
They call them inmates
...they call them monsters
and yet you see such behaviour as excusable.
Child cancer - from the thing you worship and excuse!

Do you know what they call children whose parents are lenient with their children?
Delinquents
Trouble makers
Jailbirds
murderers
thieves
vandals
mentally disturbed
And yet you accuse God of being too hard on us. You don't know Him like I know Him.

@GodSpeed63 I do no such thing.
I dismiss the claim you make that your God would be justified inflicting pain, suffering, and death on babies and children.
