My favorite part of the Genesis myth is where god creates
plants on one day but doesn't create light until a day
after. "I'm god! To hell with photosynthesis!"
Not so, please re-read it. Light comes first, plants follow, but then what you are thinking is the division of light from night to day which follows the creation of plant life. Light was already there, however.
