Hawkeye, read on. You have to read a bit more to make it clear. The helper fit for man was not found among the animals so God made woman. 20: ";but for man there was not found a helper fit for him. 21: So the Lord God causes a deep sleep to fall ...." so that a rib could be taken out to make woman. It is quite clear that the initial search for a fit helper was among the animals and that woman was made only because not fit helper was found among the animals. Don't just read a few bits and pieces.
Ringman, problems do exist on the pages of the Bible. If it is from human error, then we can not say the words are infallible. If it is because of divine plan, then we need to embrace the problems to try to understand what the message really is. You really can't have it both ways.
