quote:
Gen 2 (NIV):
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Going figuring would yield that the man was formed after the streams came up.
Further reinforced by the parallelism of Rain, Man; Rain, Man (A, B; A, B):
A B
God had not sent rain there was no one
on the earth to work the ground
streams came up from God formed a man
the earth and watered from the dust of the
the whole surface of ground
the ground

Love your enemies!
