Also, you are not taking into consideration the effects of the curse, you are quoting what God said prior to the Fall. And God did create everything in 6 days. Neither you nor I were there.Ah... and how exactly did these new plants that weren't present then come about, Rev? You have said on other threads that every organism has always existed in its present form. So which is it?

The proof that Christ is a changed life of not just me but millions of other born again believers who placed their trust in Him.Again, what metric gets the Bible held to a different standard than every other book in history? Let's leave out the claims it makes about itself---that is not a metric used for any other work in history. So why do you ignore all the things in the Bible that are demonstrably not true? The flood account, the fact that bats aren't birds(Lev 11:13-19), the fact that insects don't have four feet (Lev 11:21-23), plus a thousand other things, the literal hundreds of internal contradictions (a few here), and the fact that archaeology doesn't support every claim the Bible, which you wouldn't expect for an infallible work. So why, if the Bible gets to prove itself for you, doesn't the Iliad or Plutarch's Lives get the same consideration?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
