Try as I might its so hard to get people to just go back and just read the text to see what it is actually saying!

Just go back and check it out for yourself.
The Bible does not say the God made the sun or moon on the 4th day!


what is the subject of the 4th day?....."the lights"

Not the sun?.....no!

Just light?...yes, that is why the Bible does not say that God made the sun on the 4th day, for God had already made the sun and the moon and all the stars on the 1st day!!!!!!!!


But does not the Text say on the 4th day that God made the stars?....no that was added by editors and its not in any of the oldest copies.


So The light of the sun is different on the 4th day?......yes, its "greater"

So the difference on the 4th day is the amount or brightness of the light that has changed?...yes, that is why the Bible tells us about the "Greater light",,the term "Greater" is telling us how much.


Then why was the amount of light different?....at *** 38 we learn the answer is because of thick clouds that cast the earth in "darkness"...this is the same darkness talked about in the beginning of Genesis.


So the "darkness" talked about at the start of genesis was only due to thick clouds talked about at *** 38?...yes...and as the clouds thinned out over time the light grew "greater"...that is way on later days we see the light called "Greater"
Then 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. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 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. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Alan how do you conclude that that two great lights that God made are not the sun and moon?
