According to God's Word, the Bible, the sun did not always light the earth. It wasn't made till Day 4 of Creation Week, while the earth was created on Day 1. This refutes ideas like ‘God used evolution' and ‘God created over billions of years' because they all assert that the sun rose before the earth. For the first three days of existence, the earth was lit by the light created on Day 1 (Genesis 1:3), while the day/night cycle was caused by the earth's rotation relative to this directional light source. Then according to Genesis 1:14–19:
‘And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to divide between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth. And it was so. And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the smaller light to rule the night, and the stars also. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night; and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.'Podchaser is the ultimate destination for podcast data, search, and discovery. Learn More
