A few goodies from St. Augustine (Augustine's Commentary on the Biblical Book of Genesis):

And how did God say, “Let there be light?” Was this in time or in the eternity of His Word?

And was there the material sound of a voice when God said, “Let there be light,” as there was when He said, “Thou art my beloved Son?”

What is the light itself which was created? Is it something spiritual or material?

Now when God said, “Let there be light,” and light was made, did He say this on a certain day or before the beginning of days?

Bravo...this is just what I was reading this morning...wonderful, isnt it? He addresses so very much, in so few words...He gives us so much to think about...and he makes it so very clear, that the Bible, is not so easily, simply understood, as many on FR would have us believe...he almost demands that we sit down and THINK....
