What did God do in your reading on the first "day"?

Too funny. In all of your reading, you seemed to overlook the fact that He created time.

Is that too small a task for you? Let's go back to the main questions once again:

1-What was the light on day 2 and 3?

2-Did God create the stars before day 4?

The answers to those questions are damaging your report, aren't they?

No, because I have now answered that question 3 times by saying again that light is not destroyed. It hangs around. That is a law of physics and thereby of God, although if he chooses he may ignore. Which is precisely what he did on "day" one by creating light from nothing. When I answered you "more stars", you rejoined with "You have spoken volumes", therefore you understood my answer to mean that stars were created prior to "day" four. The only "days" prior are "days" 1,2, and 3 so you are being disingenuous when you repeatedly ask the same question that I have answered. You may not accept it, so say so and move on. We disagree on the interpretation of the Bible. We can sort that out when we see Jesus, until then I know that THE stars were not all created on "day" four because we can see stars in the process of creation and stars of different sizes and ages in God's universe. I have asked you questions that you have not deigned to answer, and which I do not press for you to answer. I have also pointed out that God is timeless and does not answer to you or anyone else's conception of time.

Gen 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

"of time" in the cited verse is Yom in Hebrew. That is the same Yom that is used as "day" in Genesis 1. So you can see that indefinite periods of time are designated by the same word as day. Now if you have a definite sequence of indefinite periods of time, how do you communicate that? Like this..

The first indefinite period.
The second indefinite period.
The third indefinite period.
The fourth indefinite period.
The fifth indefinite period.
The sixth indefinite period.
The seventh indefinite period.

Or alternately

The first time
The second time
The third time
The fourth time
The fifth time
The sixth time
The seventh time

Or as in the Bible

The first "day"
The second "day"
The third "day"
The fourth "day"
The fifth "day"
The sixth "day"
The seventh "day"
