Centered initially on the garden of Eden, the episodes that make up Genesis, Chapter 2 recount how God’s ordered creation is thrown into chaos by the human couple’s disobedience. Genesis 2 is not a simple parallel account of creation; rather, beginning with the account of the creation of man and women, the narrative tells what became of that creation. As a beginning, the construction of 2:4-7 forms a fine parallel to the construction of 1:1-3. The subject matter of each תּוֹלְדֹת (tolédot, "this is the account of") section of the book traces a decline or a deterioration through to the next beginning point, and each is thereby a microcosm of the book which begins with divine blessing in the garden, and ends with a coffin in Egypt. So, what became of the creation? Gen 2:4-4:26 will explain that sin entered the world and all but destroyed God's perfect creation.

Gen 2:4-7
In the creation of Adam the contrast is striking: against the background of a time when there was no life, no growth, no rain, no one to till the ground, God took great care in forming man. The arrangement in these verses includes a title (v. 4), three circumstantial clauses beginning in the Hebrew with “when” (“when” no shrub ... had yet appeared, “when” there was no man to work the ground, “when” streams ... watered the ... ground), and the verb beginning the narrative (and [He] formed). This mirrors chapter 1 (title, 1:1; circumstantial clauses, 1:2; and the first of the narrative verbs, 1:3).

The chronology which one often finds in the marginal notes of many of the older Bibles, notably in the Authorized Version of King James, is not a part of the Bible itself by any means! Archbishop Usher arrived at the date of 4004 B.C. by using his calculations of the years in the patriarchal genealogies (Gen. 5; 11). A comparison of these genealogies with those in the Gospels will reveal that biblical genealogies are not necessarily complete by design nor were they given to allow us to calculate the span of time between various events in the early history of man. They present certain significant names and omit others. Therefore, they cannot be used to establish the date of creation. The earliest time from which we can calculate calendar years with approximate accuracy is the time of Abraham. The age which one prescribes for the earth is extremely dependant on one's view of creation.
It is well known that there seem to be two different accounts of creation in the first two chapters of Genesis, but this need not cause us to conclude that they are incompatible, as some have suggested. The two sections actually complement each other. Genesis 1:1-2:4a presents a wide-angle view of all seven days of creation and deals with the creation of man and woman as a single act. Then in 2:4b-24 the author focuses on the sixth day, giving details which were not mentioned in the overview in chapter one. The separate origins of man and woman are brought into sharp focus. Therefore, chapters one and two are not in chronological sequence, but Genesis 2:4b-24 presents in greater detail some of what Genesis 1:11, 12, 24-31 merely summarizes

2:5 a tn Heb "Now every sprig of the field before it was." The verb forms, although appearing to be imperfects, are technically preterites coming after the adverb טֶּרֶם (terem). The word order (conjunction + subject + predicate) indicates a disjunctive clause, which provides background information for the following narrative (as in 1:2). Two negative clauses are given ("before any sprig ", and "before any cultivated grain" existed), followed by two causal clauses explaining them, and then a positive circumstantial clause is given - again dealing with water as in 1:2 (water would well up). 2:5 b tn The first term, שִׂיחַ (siakh), probably refers to the wild, uncultivated plants (see Gen 21:15; Job 30:4, 7); whereas the second, עֵשֶׂב ('esev), refers to cultivated grains. It is a way of saying: "back before anything was growing." 2:5 c tn The two causal clauses explain the first two disjunctive clauses: There was no uncultivated, general growth because there was no rain, and there were no grains because there was no man to cultivate the soil. sn The last clause in v. 5, "and there was no man to cultivate the ground," anticipates the curse and the expulsion from the garden (Gen 3:23).

Only the unlearned, willingly ignorant (sottish) or deceivers, would claim that Genesis 2 is a recount of the sixth day creation. The name Adam means ruddy…. as to show blood in the face. The same description was given regarding David.. ever read about the ‘key of David’..
The Creator told Moses what to pen and all was good until till the Serpent showed his stuff in a fig grove, not an apple orchard.
I have no doubt that gravity is one of those processes.
