Day 3 of Creation

Then God said, “Let the water beneath the sky be gathered into oceans so that the dry land will emerge.” And so it was. Then God named the dry land “earth”, and the water “seas”. And God was pleased. And he said, “Let the earth burst forth with every sort of grass and seed-bearing plant, and fruit trees with seeds inside the fruit, so that these seeds will produce the kinds of plants and fruits they came from.” And so it was, and God was pleased. This all occurred on the third day.

Genesis 1:9-13 (TLB)

This shows a rise in the continental land mass as well as the earliest plant life.

Probable Time Frame ~2000 mya to 750 mya

  • Earliest Fungi ( ~1500 mya )
  • Sexual Reproduction (~1200 mya )
  • Earliest Plants ( ~800 to 650 mya )
