These chapters tell of the creation of the world in seven days. He made the heavens and the earth, land and sea, plants, fish and birds, ground creatures, and humans in that order. In the second chapter God rests in the seventh day and then creates Adam. He is placed in the garden of Eden and has animals and plants made for him to rule. He names the animals but is still alone so God made Eve out of Adam's rib to be of Adam's company.
This is the story that everyone and their mother knows because it's so universal. Even those who are not Christian or Catholic know this story. It is one of the many creation theories but something to note out is that all of the religious theories are basically the same. A god creates the world out of nothing or chaos and then goes on to create humans. What was strange about these chapters is that the order of the events is different which led me to the conlcusion that in the garden of Eden, there weren't creatures and flora before Adam was made.
