[Also, how were plants created before the Sun?]
plants were created before the sun and they lived because the days of genisis are literal days. and plants can live in darkness for a day or two.

Uh huh, except that without the sun the water, in and around the earth would have been frozen. The water in the cells of the plants would have frozen, bursting the cell walls in the plants. When those plants thawed, they would just be puddles of slime.
When you read it literally, "genisis" proclaims that day and night and the position of the Sun relative to Earth are independent phenomena. Basically, daylight occurs for no reason and the sun just happens to be up there at the time.
Sure, plants can survive a day or two of normal darkness -- at normal life-sustaining temperatures and atmospheric pressure/composition. But if God tried to manage that at something like 2 degrees above absolute zero, though, methinks he would find a serious flaw in his omniscience.
Why bother discussing if plants can survive one day in darkness? That book says god made the sun next day. I just can't understand how they believe those things as miracles and then start explaning such mundane things as the survival of plant for a day. If goddidit, then goddidit all. If that's a pile of bullshit... well, shit is good for plants...
To be fair, if someone's positing a God who can create stars, planets, and plants ex nihilo , then also proposing that God can magically keep the plants alive despite a lack of light or heat isn't too much of a stretch.
the days of genisis are literal days. and plants can live in darkness for a day or two.
What about God's 1,000 year "days"? {A day to God is as 1,000 years to us?)
Confused?
