Are you sure? Genesis 2:5-7 says (NIV):
Quote:
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Seems to me that verse 5 says there were no plants yet, and then in verse 7 man is created.
