Hi jay,

If we accept the KJV, then we have grass also created on the third day.
That really depends on what you believe Genesis says about creation.
1. In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth.
2. Man was formed from the dust of the earth.
3. A garden was planted.
4. God placed man in the garden.
5. Out of the ground God made fruit bearing trees and plants to grow.
5. The only water mentioned was a river that flowed from Eden to water the garden which then divided into 4 rivers.
6. Out of the ground God formed every beast of the field and fowl of the air.
7. Then God took a rib from the man and made a woman.
8. In Genesis 2:5 Every plant and herb of the land is mentioned but it is not stated when God brought them from the ground.
I think science confirms that at one time there was no oceans or seas on the planet earth.
I think science confirms that at one time the mountains were covered with water as there are all kind of water critters on top of the mountains as well as in them.
If I am in trouble by my thinking I am sure someone will point it out to me.
Genesis 2:4 through Genesis 2:25 does not have fish or any water creatures created only land and air.
Conclusion a dry earth.
Genesis 1:9 tells me there was no dry land.
Conclusion the earth was covered with water.
Conclusion something happened to cause all the dry land to be covered by water. (But there is no explanation given.)
God Bless,
