"It states the acts of putting the sun and moon and stars in the firmanent was completed on day 4. The sun was created on day one."

So the Sun was created on day one, but not placed in the firmament until day 4?

The Bible also states that "God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also." all on the 4th day.

Do you really believe the earth was made before the sun and stars?

The Bible also states that "God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also." all on the 4th day.

The problem is in the translation. The words used in v.13 do not indicate that the sun was created at that moment. It was created in the past (day one). A better translation might be:

"God had made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also."
