Creation account does not mention creation OF the planet.

Hello, Whiskey, and welcome to EvC. Fun place! Off to a bad start, isn't it? The story waits 'till Day Four to get the stars and Sun created, no? Observation indicates otherwise - it looks like two generations of stars were formed, burnt their hydrogen, and exploded before there was enough carbon, silicon, and iron floating around in space to form a planet. The "inaccurate assumptions" aren't confined to young-earthers, but to Genesis literalists of any stripe.

I need to understand? Your third post here, you don't know me from Millard Fillmore, and you're assuming that I've never read or thought about Genesis before? It looks to me like Gen 1:1 to 2:4 was written as a very nice bit of poetic creation myth, but from a 100% non-scientific viewpoint.
