Re: Re-Two Points
At a later date billions of years later in time as you and I know it but as far as that period was concerned it was still the same day as there had been no night yet.
Or more likely no day yet, as there wasn't a sun.

Re: Chonology, please
Point out one thing in my chronology that does not agree with scientific fact.
There are bunches - Earth before Sun, land plants before sea creatures, grasses before land animals... It's a campfire tale, or rather two campfire tales.

Re: Chonology, please
The Genesis 1 list, your points 10 through 18. Read it yourself!

Re: Chonology, please
Genesis chapter 1 - your second list:
10. God said let the earth bring forth vegetation it did, Gen. 1:11
11. The earth brought forth vegetation. Gen. 1:13
12. The evening and morning were the third day. Gen. 1:13
13. God said let there be light, it was so. Gen. 1:14-15
14. God made 2 great lights, and the morning and evening were the 4th day. Gen. 1:16-19
15. God said let the waters bring forth fishes, the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that fly, each after its own kind, God said be fruitful and multiply. Gen. 1:20-21
16. And the evening and morning were the fifth day. Gen. 1:23
17 God said let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind. Gen. 1:24-25
18. God said let Us make man in our image and likeness, and give them dominion over fish,
Fowl, and beasts. So he made man in his own image male and female. Gen. 1:26-27
Plants before sun or sea creatures.
Earth before Sun.
Grasses before land animals.
Those three, at least, are contrary to fact.

Re: Chonology, please
Does Science say we had land animals before food for them?
Of course not! But the Age of the Dinosaurs was nearly over before the first grasses, and "and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself," aren't that much older than that. There were ferns and all manner of now-extinct sorts of plants before grasses and seed-bearing plants evolved for animals to eat.
It doesn't say He created them, just that He made them.
Whuh? Created? Made? Built? Formed?
"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth," seems pretty plain. No lights until the Fourth Day.
As far as sea creatures, or any water creatures they are not mentioned in the verses I am examining.
"And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind..."
