Soil needs worms, slugs, snails, rodents, and weathering in order to mix the soil. Soil is a combination of decayed organic matter and minerals.
The minerals could come from rocks that were created under the "Earth" category, but what about the decayed organic matter?
If God made the earth before he made plants, and made plants before he made animals (slugs, snails, worms, rodents, etc) how did the soil sustain life? Any gardner will confirm that these living organisms are necessary to make the soil fertile.

Look at Genesis 1:10-12. It is logical to assume the dirt, ground or Earth was created first and then the system was installed with anerobic bacteria prior to the vegetation being formed and produced. This had to be a functioning system before the land animals appereared. The same holds true for the Sea.

There is a term for it, it is symbiosis which means, living together and in relation to one another. Micro-organisms came first, then plants, then herbivores to feed on them, then carnivores to feed on flesh and all the time there has been scavengers in every field to keep the balance clean 8

Surely YHVH is able to make a mineral soil that can sustain plant life. (the hydroponics people do it today) Plants are needed for animal life, for all life starts with the sun, and it is plants which can utilize the sun's energy to make plant life

God created the world in six days and everything was created perfect. The earth was brand new and fertile to begin with. The animals came after to do their job for the earth.

yeah...God made human from soil, and when human will dead, he/she must be burried there as Decayed Organic Matter to mix and return human from where he/she made from....
scientifically speaking, god create us for some purpose, including research, science and everything to think...this was a gift from God, to distinguish us human from other creations...STUDY!!!!

This question belongs in the science category. It's not a religious question.
