The Bible does not contradict itself in anyway. For example, about Cain getting a wife, just because the Bible doesn't mention it, does not mean there were no other women on the face of the planet. Also, about God creating man in the second chapter is clearly a simple recollection of what happened in the first chapter. Remember that the Bible is a book inspired by and written by the Holy Spirit. Often times, you cannot explain some things because they are open either only to the faithful, or if God desires to open them to someone. Otherwise, you can bring up a lot of "inconsistencies" or simple "this doesn't make sense" points if you take everything from a human perspective. How could Jesus possibly walk on water? Through walls? Talk to demons? Therefore, it's not necessarily right to read the Bible as you would any other book. I hope you understand where I am coming from.
