Canon is a fake idea. The only canon is head canon, contradictions and ambiguities and omissions exist in every text and work. Sherlock Holmes died at the base of the Reichenbach Falls, Luke's father was killed by Darth Vader (whose first name was Darth) and Bilbo's invisibility ring is just a neat magical trinket with no malevolent power or significance beyond what is immediately apparent. Odysseus was killed by his son, Telegonus. Hermione used the time turner to travel back into the past to make out with herself. Bellatrix Lestrange had a secret love child with Voldemort. Cleopatra was bitten by a poisonous asp.

Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel, and no other children. Humans were created both before and after animals. God created the Sun on the first and fourth days. People fanwank their way out of these to have a book free of contradictions, but fanwank isn't scripture.

  > Genesis 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. They had other children. For the sun part, this probably refers to Genesis 1:3 "let there be light" and dividing day from night, and Genesis 1:16 "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night" and often in between there's "morning and evening". The way this happens after the fourth day is with the sun and moon lights. I wasn't there at the time, but I assume reality pre-day four was running prior to OpenGL 2.4 and was using global illumination, and then afterwards switched to RealEngine 4, probably. Just a guess. Humans being created before and after animals likely refers to Genesis 1:26 and 2:19. That is a bit curious, agreed. The way I take it, since Genesis 2:4-29 happened after the 7th day, is something like "hold up, let's go back to those days when plants, animals, and humans were created, and get slightly more specific about it. The origin story in the Bible is short on specifics, so it leads to a lot of interesting fan theories, and divides many of the staunchest fans. "These are literal days here" "no, these are phases, a day could be any length of time, the sun wasn't even there yet" and so on, as if that was the main point of the passages, when it isn't.

    And on the fourth day God refactored the rendering pipeline…

  > God created the Sun on the first and fourth days. To be pedantic, the creation of the first day was light and darkness. The fourth day was the things that emit light: the sun, stars, and moon. I mean, it's still somewhat weird because it seems like it's inventing effect before cause, but the sun is very clearly not being invented on the first day. The more fun contradiction is that Jesus' genealogy from David is given twice... and both of them are completely different.

    And ends in Joseph[0], who isn't the father, if you believe in the immaculate conception[1] (this is a catholic thing, and is not accepted among all denominations). It's one of many many flaws that made me question my (protestant) religious upbringing.

Uh... > The Immaculate Conception is the belief that the Virgin Mary was free of original sin from the moment of her conception.
