Genesis for the most part is retellings of polytheistic myths. The Creation myth was heavily influenced by the Enuma Elish, the story of Noah is a retelling of the Epic of Atrahasis and the story of the Garden of Eden also builts upon earlier versions from Mesopotamia.

So basically, the story of the Garden of Eden is monotheists trying to recast a polytheistic story as a monotheistic one. That's where most of the contradictions come from
