Genesis mentions the Sun being created as well as stars and a planet and most likely a moon.

No kidding.

Genesis also tells us that the Lord created the sun, moon and stars on day four.

If you feel free to place the Book of Genesis in the record, you certainly placed a record against yourself.


Genesis 1:14
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Genesis 1:15
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

Genesis 1:16
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.

Genesis 1:17
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

Genesis 1:18
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good.

Genesis 1:19
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.


Now, do you still want to use the biblical account for evidence?

He made the stars on the fourth day.

It does not say that he made some stars.  It says that He made the stars.

One more time-what was the light on days two and three?

I...don't...know. I never have professed to know.

Conversly, why don't you tell me what event took place when He uttered the words, "let there be light"...?

Something happened. One would presume that there was light.

You are being so intractable by insisting that there was nothing at the very moment of creation that could have resembled what many refer to as "The Big Bang". What are you afraid of? Entertaining the possibility that the Lord started the whole thing with an explosion of matter and energy where none existed before, does not make you an unbeliever. It is merely being human by trying to explain the unexplainable. It does not deny Faith by trying to do so.

Once again, going back to my original statement, I was only trying to reconcile the two by stating it as a personally held belief that the two events share a commonality.
That is my belief. Not a theory or an argument. You won't convince me otherwise. End of discussion.
