While the two creation stories probably stem from different sources, they were at least put together to the book Genesis by one final editor.

This has some good analysis i think. And can shed some actual light on the interesting problems of Geneis. There is no need for half-baked theories about hidden meanings. The final version of genesis comes, as i said, from diferent traditions, times, and authors.

The idea of one final "editor' making all the decisions is frankly unsupported by the text itself, history, and comparative methods.
