I stated "Except that the same account in Genesis 1 clearly state he made the Sun, Moon and Stars on day 4.".

You stated QUOTE: Doesn't say that. It says God made "the two great lights...the greater one to rule the day and the lesser one to rule the night."

Not sure why you contradicted my statement, but the scripture plainly states

Gen 1:14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

I’m just saying it’s not as plain and clear as you are supposing. The language is “lights”, not “sun” and not “moon”.

Also, it says “he set them in the vault of the sky”. I don’t have my concordance in front of me to know what word for “sky” is being used in Hebrew or Greek, but assuming the English is accurate that is also an odd thing to say as well.

God placed the sun and the moon and the stars thousands/millions of miles away in space. He did not actually place them in our sky. So that’s another clue that we are dealing with the vantage point of the earth’s surface.
