    On Day 1 God created light

    On Day 2 God created earth

    On Day 4 God created the sun

    Okay. On day 1 what was the source of light? It wasn’t the sun.

    On Day 4 the sun was created, but how was there 3 days before that? You can’t have a day without a day/night cycle the sun is responsible for.

      You can’t use logic. Because logic says:

      God created the universe, and there was light. Over time God created stars and planets and stuff. Then God created the earth, and simple organisms before moving on to more complicated organisms like humans.

      Sure sounds a whole lot like big bang cosmology and evolution to me! But try telling that to a theist.

        Even if it was the clockmaker hypothesis, it doesn’t make sense. Stars were formed before planets were.

        And it was on day 4 the other stars and planets were formed.

          I dont mean to say that they’re right or anything like that. I just mean that just because science says one thing, that doesn’t automatically discredit their bed time stories like they think it does. Like, they’re actually kind of compatible if you think about it. I personally don’t believe this, I just find it weird that theists are so opposed to the idea.

      That’s easy though since it says elsewhere in the Bible that God is the light source.

      So god got lit, created the Earth, then created plants, then created the sun, then let the sun take over light duties.

      I guess this means light from God also causes photosynthesis?

      Of course it also cites the moon as being a light source when it’s just reflecting the sun…

        So why did God make light on day 1? Did he need it to see what he was doing? Maybe the light was a head-lamp. If he was so smart wouldn’t he just make the suns first? Seems redundant.
