Zone1 Is Genesis 1:25-27 a contradiction with Genesis 2:18-20?

Moses may be a literary device.. or an adaptation of the story of Sinuhe.. The Exodus didn't happen anymore than Noah's Ark.

These are wonderful morality tales.. teaching narratives.. They aren't history.
Says who? I suppose the Holocaust didn't happen either because you weren't there. The story of Sinuhe doesn't come close. And yes, Noah's flood did happen. They are history.

The Holocaust? Are you nuts? What does the Holocaust have to do with the Bible stories?

Noah's flood was a 4 day flood of the Euphrates river basin.

There's no world wide flood footprint.

Who says they are stories? Just because you weren't there and don't want to believe in God of the Bible? So, what is stopping you from believing that the Holocaust didn't happen? Oh, they all happened. The world was completely 100% flooded. It wasn't local. There is a huge world wide footprint of the flood.

I do believe in God and the Bible. The Bible is didactic literature not history.

There's no evidence for a worldwide flood.... zero. You simply reject science like geology.

Yes, there is quite a lot of geological evidence of the world wide flood. And, who says the Bible is literature and not history? It's actually both since it's in a book. Not sure how you can believe in God and the Bible and what that even means if you keep saying it's all made up stories. Perhaps you need to seek out other sites that teach that the flood existed, Israel existed and Moses led the people out of Egypt. It's out there. Plenty of it.

Egypt controlled Sinai and Canaan. They had Egyptian garrisons.. Sinai couldn't support 2 million people and their herds. There's just no water or pasture.

Yes, there is a lot of evidence. You have to look for people who are also looking for the same information. www.ICR.com is one of them

Manna and quail.
 
Because floods lay down sediment. Have you ever seen a core sample?
There is flood evidence all over the globe, it's just not 'uniform'. Noah's flood wouldn't lay down uniform sediments. It wasn't that kind of flood.

Why do you think it matters whether it was a planet-wide flood or a local flood? How would that change the theme of the story?

It would take a very large widespread flood to drown all the people extant on the earth.

There was no worldwide flood. Even the scriptures use the word eretz.. meaning land.

Look at how the word is used. There was famine in the land (eretz).

Periodically the Tigris and Euphrates rivers jumped their riverbanks because of spring rains and snowmelt from the Zagros mountains. That's how the delta south of Basra was formed. In 2900 BC the flood was 130 miles across and 350 miles south. A king of Sumer hauled grain, livestock and beer downriver on barges to sell. The barges broke loose and ended up in Bahrain.

That's not what the story portrays. Scholars agree that the story is presented as historical fact, not a grand metaphor.
