there was no big bang, especially to what you just said

The Earth was created before light, correct?

According to the big bang, nothing was created before the big bang

The Bible is correct

This is what is wrong with a literal reading of the Bible, and worse, an unliterary literal reading. The Bible was written in the form of poetry, not in the form of an auto repair manual.
A day does not have to be a day, 24 hours, nor does it have to be anything other than a contextual frame useful to reach the people this bit of poetry was directed at, thousands of years ago. They understood “day”, they would not understand “an unthinkable amount of time, way beyond what our arithmetic can manage”. The Bible did not say what the “light” was, nor describe the nuclear physics of the sun, or define “light” as we understand it.
Etc. Ad infinitum.
