I've always interpretted that as God creating light the first day, and then forming the Sun, Moon and Stars out of that light the 4th day.Serious question: How did God create light on the first day if he didn’t create the sun, moon, and stars until the 4th day?
Friction. He spoke, His power pac, the Holy Spirit, moved through dark matter, creating friction, which causes heat/energy which creates photons packets, which is what light is..Serious question: How did God create light on the first day if he didn’t create the sun, moon, and stars until the 4th day?
Or is energy.
The King James Bible is a horrible translation.
My son is not a believer, I doubt he is a Christian so it is not a Bible centric person that speaks. Scientifically, creation could not have happened in any other order. He explained it in detail. But the story of creation is the same no matter who is telling it.The Sun and moon were placed in the heavens by God to mark the seasons and days.
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. psalm 104:19
The 16th is better English but horrible Hebrew.Actually it's excellent. What's horrible is people not being very fluent in 16th century English, which was a pretty new language then, in fact.
Moses was given the account by God. And your son is right. Creation was well orchestrated by God. He made the environment first and then he places its inhabitants in it afterwards.My son is not a believer, I doubt he is a Christian so it is not a Bible centric person that speaks. Scientifically, creation could not have happened in any other order. He explained it in detail. But the story of creation is the same no matter who is telling it.
How did they know? Someone gave the people of the time this account. How did they know?
It’s an allegorical account. It’s not a science textbook.Serious question: How did God create light on the first day if he didn’t create the sun, moon, and stars until the 4th day?
Technically light didn’t exist until radiation decoupled from matter which was about 400,000 years after the universe popped into existence being hardwired to produce life and intelligence.I'm fairly certain The Big Bang was pretty well lit.
Or men were shown the beginning and the evolution of space and time and put what they saw in their own words.The Bible is in great part metaphorical, related and handed down to man in parts and not any direct eyewitness accounts.
When God said Let There Be Light, he might have been referring to the universe becoming transparent to light or light from some superluminal source long since gone. Or maybe there already were stars.
And God's saying on the fourth day about the Greater and Lesser light and the stars, he might have been referring to the lighting of the Sun and the illumination of the moon as a result, and the circumsolar nebular clouds finally getting blown away and broken up enough to start seeing the stars farther out beyond local space.
You won't accept my answer I'm sure, but the first 2 verses of Genesis are AGES apart.Serious question: How did God create light on the first day if he didn’t create the sun, moon, and stars until the 4th day?

The Big Bang, let there be light. The rest is evolution.Serious question: How did God create light on the first day if he didn’t create the sun, moon, and stars until the 4th day?
So, you believe it took God thousands and thousands of years to create the earth and heavens?
Sorry. but I don't. We'll just have to disagree and rejoice in our belief in a creator.
God did not "create light"..........He spoke (used the Word) to declare, "Let there be light......." -- Genesis 1:3. What was this light if the stars, sun, moon and all heavenly bodies were not created until day 4? Read the gospel of John. (John 1:1-18), "In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and the Word was God......(vs. 1)" "He (the Word) was in the beginning WITH GOD (vs 2)" "All things were made through HIM (the WORD), without HIM was not anything made that was made (vs 3)." "IN HIM was life, and he was the light of men (vs 4)" "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it (vs 5)." ESVSerious question: How did God create light on the first day if he didn’t create the sun, moon, and stars until the 4th day?
