Funny thing, you know! The order of creation as described in Genesis I is exactly the order that science had determined.

Genesis 1 has the plants created bfore the Sun, and the moon before the stars. It also has water before land, and birds before dinosaurs. In fact, Genesis 1 pretty much teaches the exact opposite of modern science.

The great contention is how to define a “day”; whether epoch or 24-hour period, or some other

The only ones who want to make it not read as a simple 24 hour day are those who want or need long epochs to accomodate so-called scientific ages of the earth.

Get a reputable Bible... Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Where is the SUN?

verse 2 of Genesis 1 continues with A N D the earth became without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.....

Please note NO date or time stamp given, verse 3 begins the description of what I term the grandest environmental clean up this earth has ever had. And the clean-up took more than 6 literal in our time 24 hour days.

And NO I do not believe in the darwinist fairy tale, old Darwin was ticked off at God and decided to strike out on his own.
