SCIENTIFIC ERROR #2: Plants existed on Earth before the Sun existed.

 Scientific Error #2: Plants existed on Earth before the Sun existed. 

According to Genesis, God created land plants on the third day (Genesis 1:9-13):

 

Then God created the Sun, Moon, and the stars on the fourth day (Genesis 1:14-19):

 

So, according to the Bible, land plants began to exist before the Sun began to exist. But this is false, according to modern science.

According to modern scientific study of the universe and our solar system, the Sun began to exist about 4.6 billion years ago:

 

 According to modern scientific study of paleontology, the first land plants appeared on the planet Earth about 500 million years ago:

 

According to modern science, the Sun began to exist about 4 billion years before land plants began to exist on the planet Earth. Therefore, the Bible (i.e. Genesis) is mistaken in asserting that land plants began to exist BEFORE the Sun began to exist.
