The point in Genesis where plants appear is out-of-place, but otherwise it's a fairly accurate, simplified version of what science is showing us.... About what you'd tell someone living 3,500 years or so ago.

The point in Genesis where plants appear is out-of-placeNot necesarily. Scientists are currently studying plants that grow without sun at vents in the earths crust and plant like organisms that feed on minerals in the earth.
Theologically speaking, I believe the first light was not the light of the sun but rather the light of Jesus. (See John Chapter 1) In addition in Revelations the new earth is lighted by God not by the sun. There is no need for the sun anymore to light the city.
