First Creation account in the book of Genesis is the TRUTH and God-honoring too while the second one is false and God-dishonoring too

1 )  First Creation Account (Genesis 1:1-31) follows the Law of Cause and Effect (also called Law of Action and Consequence) which shows how an ACT results in its EFFECT which, in turn, becomes the cause for another effect as happens in a seed which is a never-ending series of GROWTH and DECAY while in the process existence of tree and its fruits are made eternal. God “making (bā·rā) the heaven שָׁמַ֫יִם (shamayim, plural of shamay) and the earth” (Genesis 1:1, Septuagint) is the continuation of previous Age which ended in a Final Global War which caused “desolation” of earth. (Mathew 24:15) Hebrew word for DESOLATION and SKY/HEAVEN are the same [etymology and details under footnote]#

2. First Creation Account (Genesis 1:1-31) also concludes by saying the IMPACT of God’s BLESSING on His own work of making mankind in His image, saying “And so it became (hayah) ….  they were very (meod) good (towb).” (Genesis 1:30, 31, CPD Version) which covers the full world history to follow.

The same Hebrew words meod towb are translated as “very beautiful” to describe young virgin Rebekah saying she was “very (meod) beautiful (towb).” (Genesis 24:16) Thus, God Almighty was rating IMPACT of His BLESSING on His own work as though saying: Kingdom of God which HE just started “was VERY BEAUTIFUL” like the glorious young body of a Miss Universe.

How long this very BEAUTIFUL,
almightily BLESSED state remained?

It remained so, in high profile, for the half of the duration of history, according to God-given vision about complete world history (Daniel 2:32, 33, 43, 44) and thereafter it would still remain in low-profile as the godly are overgrown by the licentious in its second half.

In this vision, world history [of one Age] is symbolically depicted as an image made of four quarters [Golden, Silver, Bronze, Iron]. It was complete world history from beginning of Golden Age till the end of this present Iron Age and start of even incoming New Age of Golden Age again from feet of the image [made of Iron and Clay] as it is a never ending series of New Age and Old Age, https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateReligion/s/Rg3xwli0V7. That impactful is the BLESSING of the ALMIGHTY because Hebrew verb “blessed (way·ḇā·reḵ),” from barak means “to kneel,” as though God coming “kneeling down” toward humans "to endue with power for success, prosperity." (HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament) This CENTRAL concept covers first half of pure, unleavened world history, inhabited by godly people only [symbolized by wheat], according to Jesus. (Mathew 13:24-30, 33)

Why was this CENTRAL VERSE overlooked?

Instead of elaborating this too vital concept in Genesis 1:31, the anonymous Writer of book of Genesis chose to divert the subject with a contradictory SECOND CREATION ACCOUNT (Wikipedia org/Genesis_creation_narrative). In this account God is shown as making man out of clay and breathing life into his nostril which is modification of Greek mythology. (www.reddit.com/r/GreekMythology/comments/18hh7fo/if_athena_breathed_life_into_the_clay_that_became/)  According to Law of Action and Consequence, the next verse after Genesis 1:31 should be a description about IMPACT of ALMIGHTY BLESSING which is found in Genesis 5:24 which says about Enoch who “walked with God.” He is symbol of all those who were BLESSED by God and lived manifesting image of God as this symbolic name Enoch is from “adjective חניך (hanik), means, trained or experienced, from noun חנכה (hanukka) means dedication.” (Theological Dictionary, Abarim)

Such a training and subsequent re-dedication on a global scale happens
in the Last Generation of each Age, also called LEAP AGE.

This also has been shown in the same divine vision of complete world history, symbolically represented in an image of four quarters (Golden, Silver, Bronze and Iron) with an additional input regarding concluding phase of the Last Quarter. (Daniel 2:32, 33, 43, 44) Concluding phase of each Age is like LEAP AGE as it is the Confluence of Two Ages [of Present Age and Incoming Age] which is symbolically depicted as Age’s “feet partly of Iron [symbol of weed-like HARDENED people] and partly of baked CLAY (chasaph) [symbol of being willingly molded in the hands of God the Great “Potter”—Isaiah 2:2-4; 64:8].” Hebrew word for clay, chasaph, from the verb chasaph, “to strip off, strip, make bare” as used in Isaiah 52:10: “The LORD has bared (ha-sap) His holy arm.” Thus “clay” symbolize people who are determined to copy God’s holiness or His four qualities—Justice, Power, Love, Wisdom which are symbolized by four living beings [Lion, Ox, Human-faced, Eagle] around His throne (Revelation 4:8), thus become “poor in spirit” devoid of egoistic attachments, thus their holiness being “made bare.” (Mathew 5:3; 16:24; 1 Thessalonians 2:10; Revelation 22:11)

Such DEDICATED and BLESSED people are symbolized as WHEAT, and late comers, LICENTIOUS people, are symbolized as WEEDS in famous Parable of Wheat and Weeds which is corrected, complete world history in symbolic, short-story format, reddit.com/r/theology/s/Gj5Qmy5Pgn. Choice of word “WHEAT” and the expression it “produced crops” as symbolism for people who were BLESSED by God ALMIGHTY reveals they would be consistent in producing wheat only [would not become licentious like weeds, nor would be influenced by them]. They are minority living in low-profile [enjoying paradise WITHIN—Luke 17:21] who are viewed as “the last ones” [egoless, as persons of no-importance] by the world. (Mathew 19:30) They are like their Supreme Father who is not attention-starved as HE keeps away from lime-light by delegating everything to impartial, impeccable, omnipresent Law of Action and Consequence.

That Parable of Wheat and Weeds shows people who were blessed by God ALMIGHTY would continue in that BLESSED STATE till end of this Age (Mathew 24:21, 22; 25:34) and even beyond as they would also survive into New Age (Revelation 7:14) after the Final Global War that would “desolate” this earth (Mathew 24:15) requiring God to do “renewal [pallingenesis, Greek, re-genesis]” of earth (Mathew 19:28). IMPACT of His blessing on them is eternal (Isaiah 55:11) as they are convinced of the benefits of manifesting four qualities of God bringing glory to God without letup. (Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10; 1 John 2:17; Revelation 4:1-10). Those BLESSED ones would not choose to change their status, just like increasing number of licentious people who would not CHOOSE to become wheat-like ones as they hate each other’s chosen path. (Proverbs 29:27)

The licentious people see only GLOOMY future (scientificamerican com/humans-are-doomed-to-go-extinct) as they experience worsening state of affairs in the Last Generation with pollution reaching its peak and Global War preparation being vigorously pursued.

In contrast, WHEAT-like ones view this period as the MOST AUSPICIOUS TIME as they are now determined to refresh or “be remade in the image of God,” thus to become the seed for the New Age “Tree of righteous people.” (Mathew 13:31, 32; Proverbs 11:30; Isaiah 2:2-4)

This act of “being re-made in the image of God” is symbolically referred to as God saying “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness” (Genesis 1:26) which is not a literal speaking, just like His speaking to fishes in the sea (1:22) is not literal. It is Hebrew style of saying—What people choose to do is described as God making them do. For example, when “Pharaoh himself hardened his heart against God” (Exodus 8:15, 32), it is also described as “God hardened the heart of Pharaoh.” (Exodus 9:12) And when people “test” themselves with their disastrous strong desires (James 1:13-15), it is described as God tested them which only means God permits people to use their freewill in any direction of their choice—They are free to use it to benefit themselves or free to misuse it only to become a live-lesson for the godly on what to avoid to better enjoy life. (Proverbs 21:18; Job 5:13).

Conversely, people being tempted by “serpent (symbol of greed) symbolizes them accepting GREED as their RULER which is symbolically called “devil” (John 6:70; Mark 7:21-23). Such demonic activity belongs to second half of each Age. It was like sprouting of the symbolic "TREE OF LEARNING the knowledge of good and evil." This skillful mixing of good and evil results in body becoming diseased and nature becoming hostile!, //www.reddit.com/r/god/comments/1lvwb9e/why_evilsuffering_exist_if_god_existsis_a_wrong/   On seeing this, wheat-like people tell themselves “You must not eat from the tree of learning the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” (Genesis 2:9, 17, qbible com/brenton-septuagint/genesis/2.html) It is the symbolic response of the wheat-like people to the licentious people who say: "Licentious behaviour will have no consequence." Thus it is about wheat-like ones keeping a CAUTIOUS WATCH over weed-like ones as they hate each other’s chosen path.

Thus both conflicted groups of WHEAT-like people and WEED-like people are determined to keep a CAUTIOUS WATCH over each other from being influenced. This is beautifully given in original text of Genesis 3:15 (qbible com/brenton-septuagint/genesis/3.html): “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed, he shall watch against thy head, and thou shalt watch against his heel.” Since Septuagint Translation was in use during Jesus’ time, his Parable of Wheat and Weeds is the pictorial depiction of this Septuagint rendering of Genesis 3:15 which highlights the truth that weed-like ones (serpent-like licentious people) and wheat-like godly ones who are symbolic wife of God (Isaiah 54:6) will “WATCH” each other in such a way that they would not be influenced by each other. (Proverbs 29:27; Luke 6:43-45; Revelation 22:11)

Hence weed-like people are figuratively described as “dead” (Mathew 8:22) as they are “dead” to joy of godly living.  This is especially so because Greek word for weed (zizanion) is from Aramaic noun זונין (zonin), meaning false-wheat, stems from the verb זנה (zanah), meaning to fornicate or be a harlot or a degenerate (more specifically: someone who routinely adjusts their fluidic allegiances according to their shifting interests).”  (Theological Dictionary, Abarim) Hence this repeated expression about the ungodly as “being dead to God and being alive to sin,” and expression about the godly as “being alive to God and being dead to sin.” (Romans 6:11) They are shown as living on this earth forever: "The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever."—1 John 2:17

Second creation account is false and God-dishonoring too
nor does it follow Law of Cause and Effect

Second creation account (Genesis 2:4 to 4:1-26) does not follow Law of Cause and Effect. It needs no dissection as it is modification of Greek Mythology. Besides the series of events it describes [Greed ruling people thus rebellion against God, brother killing own younger brother out of sheer envy etc] belong to second half of each Age when weed-like, licentious people arrive on the world scene making sense of the often repeated verse “many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.” (Mathew 19:30) This is the concluding verse of the answer to the question ‘What is the reward for spiritual living’? Answer was: In the pallingenesis (re-genesis, renewal, restoration), the spiritual [who were symbolized by wheat-like godly people] “will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.” (Mathew 19:27-30) For full details, reddit.com/r/theology/s/Gj5Qmy5Pgn.

Why such a God-dishonoring second account of creation became part of the very first book?

Scholars have found from the style of writing that both creation accounts are from different sources. (Wikipedia org/Genesis_creation_narrative) In addition, book unwittingly reveals its Writer was writing from a very later period when it makes reference to “Kings in Israel” (Genesis 36:31). Israel’s Monarchy was ended in 586 BCE as promised exile for “being rebel from birth.” (Isaiah 48:8; 5:13) Hence Writer was writing either during or after Israel’s monarchy. This explains why the Writer often tends to glorify rebellion creating the impression that God is failure, had to repent etc.

Cycle of DESOLATION [by humans] and CLEARING [by God]
and its connection with Hebrew word for sky/heaven

Since WHEAT-like godly people are a minority and WEED-like licentious people are a majority, each Age will ultimately become polluted and unlivable through pollution and global wars, and earth will become “DESOLATED” (Daniel 12:11 and Mathew 24:15; Revelation 11:18; 16:14, 16) requiring “CLEARING.”

Hebrew word for desolation is שָׁמֵם (shamem) which is from “verb שמם (shamem) means to be desolate.” (Theological Dictionary, Abarim) Thus Genesis account starts as the continuation from DESOLATED state of affairs on earth: “In the beginning God made (bā·rā) the heaven שָׁמַ֫יִם (shamayim, plural of shamay) and the earth” (Genesis 1:1, Septuagint). Both Hebrew words desolation (shamem) and heavens (shamayim) are from the root שמה (smh). Its “derivative is the important masculine noun שמי (shamay). It occurs only in plural: שמים (shamayim) and means heaven(s)” and it carries the connotation that “the heavens as place of destruction” and later heaven as a place of “clearing.” (Theological Dictionary, Abarim)

This connection is better understood in the fulfillment of Daniel 12:11 and Mathew 24:15 which says earth [and its sky] will undergo DESOLATION through pollution and global wars which forces God to CLEAR both earth and the sky. “The Hebrew word for sky is shamayim. Our tradition tells us that this word is a construct of the Hebrew words esh (fire) and mayim (water).” (jewishboston com/read/shamayim-a-sky-full-of-fire/). And Hebrew word for “made” (bā·rā) is translated as “clear” in Joshua 17:15 which says “Go to the forest and clear (bā·rā) there the land for yourself.” Thus it is not about creation out of nothing, but clearing of what was already desolated. Thinking of God as a Creator would mean HE was hung upon nothing for all eternity, for 1 followed by infinite number of zeros, and too late HE felt like creating something. This is why people like Solomon and Jesus (Greater Solomon) removes such dishonor from God saying universe is eternal.

What happens on earth is of intimate concern to God as earth is His “footstool” (Isaiah 66:1; Mathew 5:35) thus holy too. The word for holy (hagiō) literally means “to set apart” as earth is “set apart” for humans, His children (Psalm 115:16). When the nations amass enough and more nuclear weapons it is like preparations to make this earth “desolate” which is opposite of its intended purpose of “being set apart” for remaining as God’s footstool and habitat for His children, the humans. “Today's nuclear war capabilities would have devastating impacts on Earth … If detonated, nuclear firestorms would release soot and smoke into the upper atmosphere that would block out the Sun resulting in crop failure around the world.” (Google: How Nuclear War Would Affect Earth Today, ISU.edu/mediacenter/news/2022/07/07) This cycle of DESOLATION and subsequent CLEARING or “restoration” became the very theme of all prophets. (Acts 3:21)

Hence prediction about signs of Last Generation concludes by saying:

“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea [symbolic of those who "praise" God resulting in "thanksgiving" to Him—Genesis 29:35] flee to the mountains [symbol of surest security, God—Isaiah 2:2-4].” Let such spiritual ones not turn to temporary security of this world, not plan for great materialistic future [as symbolized by “pregnant women and nursing mothers”] as “great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now” is sure to happen. … “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect (eklektous) those days will be shortened. (Mathew 24:15-22, //www.reddit.com/r/theology/comments/1pi0qn0/gods_promise_that_great_tribulation_will_be_cut/)
