You'd think that just the two different versions of creation in the Bible would be enough to blow the whole "the Bible is the literal truth" argument out of the water without anything else...
The two "versions" are not inconsistent. The first deals with God's creation on a grand scale, the second on His personal relationship to humans. The second deals with the garden of Eden, and not all of the world. Thus, animals were created first, but were brought into the garden after the creation of Adam and Eve. Eden was the perfect place God intended for all humans to exist in the love relationship with Him for which they were created.
