The Bible and Plant Life

Plants need sunlight, water, and minerals in order to grow and to make their own energy and food. If plants do not get sunlight, and yet have water and minerals, they cannot produce chlorophyll. They will then die. It is interesting to notice therefore the chronological order of the Genesis creation. God created light first (Gen 1:3). He then created water (v6), then soil (v9), and then he created plant life (v11).
