And the earth brought forth vegetation, and plants yielding seed after their kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after its kind: and God saw that it was good.

All Commentaries on Genesis 1:12 Go To Genesis 1

Ambrose of Milan

AD 397

Let everyone be informed that the sun is not the author of vegetation…. How can the sun give the faculty of life to growing plants when these have already been brought forth by the lifegiving creative power of God before the sun entered into such a life as this? The sun is younger than the green shoot, younger than the green plant.
