Sticking with Genesis, the plants are here BEFORE the Sun.

But not before light, which we don't know how much there was at that point so it's not possible to say that there wasn't enough for plants to survive.

[muawiyah]

Light is not at the Earth yet ~ not until God creates the Sun and Moon to provide it. Light is undoubtedly somewhere, just not here, so the plants wilt, die and perish before there are even animals to eat them.

Meanwhile the birds are flying around before landanimals exist. Raises questions about why birds have legs doncha' know.
