One narrative has the animals created before Adam, another has the animals created after Adam, for him. This is a contradiction, and both cannot be true.

The compilation in this wiki, like the articles I posted before, which you neglected to read before dismissing, show quite a bit of transitional fossils.
Seriously, you used answers in genesis. This is sheer dishonest insanity. The book says it's a light, and you parse and pretend as if it does not mean what it says. The bible later reaffirms this view of the moon as a light. It is also worth noting that other, more advanced civilizations of the time also believed the moon was a light.
Ezekiel 32:7
When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.
Here God thinks the moon is a light, AND that he can blot out the sun with a cloud, because of course the biblical writers did not know the sun was not part of the fabled firmament.
Mark 13:24-37
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
Here, God thinks the stars are in the sky, and can fall, because God does not seem to know about gravitation, along with the old moon is light belief.
isaiah 30:26
The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the LORD binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted.
Is there anything you cant rationalize away?
