Ths fact that creation is described as a story (or rather as two

A study of Genesis 1 and 2 give a lot of evidence that they were
written by the same author, they just are given from a different
perspective, one chronologically, the other more chiastically.
The dead sea scrolls shows how the names of God were used
interchangeably by later editors, so it is no evidence of different
authors.
