All that is saying is that nothing grew ahead of time on its own --- which is exactly what we would expect --- since it was only Day Six.

These plants didn't have time to grow on their own, and God put them there through some hyper-growth process.

That passage itself pwns evolution.

It says no shrub had yet APPEARED. A lot different from no shrub had yet grown to mature size.

Get a real Bible ---
Genesis 2:5 said:
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

Chalk that up to the list of words that don't mean what they mean in FundieLand.
You mean like "Fundie" --- which is probably the most misunderstood/misused word in you guys' vocabulary?

Well, it's going to take someone with a better vocabulary than you to correct that alleged mistake.
Considering where it comes from, I can see why.

If you have a "fundie dictionary", I would suggest you please use It.

We've been using it -- and we'd rather us it, a special book with a long history of having never been proven wrong -- than take the word of a non-believer in it such as yourself.

Perhaps someday your eyes will be opened.

I didn't even understand that first sentence --- sorry.

5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Well then the phrase "before it was in the earth" is still indicative of no living plants when God created Adam. This still contradicts Genesis 1 regardless of what version of the Bible you use.
