The text in Genesis says that the waters were gathered into one place (i.e., in heaps and storehouses) and then the dry land appeared. It says nothing of water running off of the land as it rises; otherwise, “wet” land would have appeared and then become dry. The response from God, “and it was so” seems to refute the idea that it was wet, and then became dry. But really, all we can be certain about is that the dry land appeared on day 3.”",
