Oh, and I almost forgot, another point to my post 123 above.

4. The Hebrew word used to describe the forming of the animals (yatzar) is very different than the hebrew word used to describe the construction of Eve (banah). In fact, of the three Hebrew words used in Genesis 1 and 2 to describe “creative” actions, only Eve is said to be banah. There is simply nothing about her creation that parallels the creation of the animals.
