In [[Creationism]] there has been some debate over whether alluvium was created on the second day [http://search.americanbible.org/bible/search.cfm?cText=1&input=Genesis%201:6&versions=46] when [[God]] separated the water below, or on the third day [http://search.americanbible.org/bible/search.cfm?cText=1&input=Genesis%201:9&versions=46] when [[God]] commanded the water to come together into one place so dry ground became visible. The argument hinges on whether or not ''particles'' of dirt existed before the waters were gathered on the third day.
