“Let there be light” is the first step of creation. “Let there be light” was not described as a fixed light source in close proximity to the Earth that would act exactly like the Sun for three days while God was waiting to create the Sun.
Light exists throughout our massive universe, emitted from the Star we circle, from stars that shone many hundreds of millions of years ago whose light is just now reaching us, from the galaxy that our Star is part of as it orbits the galactic core.
Now what force could move the Sun around the Earth while leaving the Earth motionless?
"Let there be light" rules out nothing but light, allmendream. The star we know as the Sun did not exist at that moment, according to the Genesis account of the Bible. According to Genesis, stars came later, too. How much of Genesis are you going to toss out, before you're completely satisfied?
It sounds as if you take issue with the Biblical account. I will not reject it; I'm a Christian. You say you are Christian, too, but constant attempts at discrediting Genesis strike me as rather oppositional. Just being honest.
“Let there be light” is the first step of creation.”
Uh, no. Let’s read the first 3 verses of the Bible:
1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Light comes along after the heaven and earth have ben created.
(I’m not taking the Creationist side here, just pointing out what the Bible actually says.)
