Do Plants Before Animals Mean Young Earth?

It sounds like you’re saying there was light over all of the earth except in the Garden of Eden when the beginning of human history began. Yet then why would the Bible go on to explain that God separated the light from the darkness?

Because he is telling the story of all creation in a six day telling. This is like going to a movie, or a play. God is showing what he did for the narrator to tell us. See A Telling in Six Ordinary Days.
