You're right, of course. I had in mind the day-age attempt to reconcile Genesis with science. But the
writer probably wasn't thinking that way, emphasizing the evening and morning of each day as he did (so, yeah, it was silly to mention the photosynthesis thing). If he was thinking of 24-hour days, he'd know that plants could survive a day in darkness, no problem. (Except that night and day had already been created on day one, even before the Sun. Hmmm.)
Anyway, the point is that this and other features of the Genesis story will be hard to reconcile with evolution (both biological and cosmological), and day-age doesn't help much.
