Oxygen was on the third day. Well most likely...
If oxygen only came on the sixth day, what did the animals (birds) on day 5 breathe?
On day six humans were created.
Q: Is Genesis 2 a look back at the creation of mankind or a different set of people (Adam and Eve) being created?
Genesis 2 says no plant was growing the earth, they were created mature in Genesis 1. So to grow (new) plants and crops there was a man created, Adam.
In Genesis 1 man and woman are created in the image of God. But in Genesis 2 woman gets created in the image of Adam and is not equal. She is created for the man.
In Genesis 1 people are allowed to eat all seedbearing plants, in Genesis 2 they are forbidden to eat one fruit.
People lived almost 1000 years at the beginning, now we die at young age.

The description in chapter two begins preparing for oxygen
Genesis 2 :5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Oxygen was there as supernatural photosynthesis on day two. Before the Sun was placed day four.
Within the first three days before he found sin in the heart of the father of lies and it corrupted the reason of God .(Genesis 6:12 }
Ezehiah 28; 13;15 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
In the beginning God was the light .Three things that make God, God .
God is light. God is Spirit. God is love. And not that only can he create it but it is the very essence .. To show he is the beginning. And he does not rely on nature. . . created things . I would offer. We simply do not know Christ after the corrupted rudiments of this world .
When he said; "let there be light" his glorious presence came into view. His glory departed day three. Three used to indicate the end of the matter throughout the Bible.
Pagan religion accredits life to the Sun. His Glory will return in the new heaven and earth and there will be no Sun or moon, no night.
It would seem the life expectancy was changed to 70 yrs in the Psalms . 1000 a vanity proved not to be enough time. even twice would not.
Ecclesiastes 6:6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
