       Let's take a look at Day Three: “And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.” Number one, then we note that the waters are separated from the land, and there is one big body of water—the one ocean. But in the text it is also noted that there are seas, plural. So, there would have been other smaller bodies of water. The dry land is noted as one continent. Also on Day Three, after God made the dry land appear, he created nature: “And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.” So, God created all the different types of plants and trees.
