Creationists: How can you have day and night on the first day without a star?

God creates day and night on the first day and then makes the stars and the two great lights (sun and moon) on the fourth day (Genesis 1:19). How can you have day and night on the first day without a star?



Is this not a dramatic contradiction to the way the actual universe works? To have a day you must have a rotating planet and a sun. If you take the account in Genesis literally, how do you explain this?Creationists: How can you have day and night on the first day without a star?how could adam and eve have seen any stars apart from Sol of course, as the light from which has taken 1000's of years to reach the Earth.Creationists: How can you have day and night on the first day without a star?

They cant theyre are just going to relate it to some one being that had the power to do that and they are not going to have any proof to back it upCreationists: How can you have day and night on the first day without a star?God was/is the light. God didnt need physical means of illumination.
Mysticism tried to answer that before you did. It's all a paradox that cannot be explained except illogically. To God, Light and Dark are exactly the same. While he was creating, he only did things to suit our lifestyle within the space/time world that we know. Otherwise, we would not be able to know opposites and contrasts.Creationists: How can you have day and night on the first day without a star?

Applying LogicReason to anything in religion can not end well.

Religions by their very nature are devoid of such limitations.

LUMINARIES APPEAR IN THE HEAVENS

On the “fourth day,” God went on “to make the two great luminaries, the greater luminary for dominating the day and the lesser luminary for dominating the night, and also the stars.” (Genesis 1:14-19) However, had not God created these heavenly bodies earlier, “in the beginning”? Yes, he had. But please note that there is a difference between the verb “created” (Hebrew, bara′) at Genesis 1:1 and the verb ‘made’ (Hebrew, ‘asah) at Genesis 1:16. What apparently happened on the “fourth day” is that for the first time the outline of sun, moon and stars became quite visible from the surface of the earth, probably because of a clearing of the atmosphere. A radiant sun now served as “luminary” to brighten the day, bringing cheerful warmth. But what of the moon? Well, it has one of the darkest surfaces in the solar system, reflecting only 7?percent of the light it receives. Yet the moon’s size and distance from the earth (which make for adequate tides) are just right to result in the soft, pleasant light we enjoy at night. Surely Jehovah's wisdom and love are evident in this “lesser luminary”!Creationists: How can you have day and night on the first day without a star?
I have another question......if on the first day humans didnt exist.....how can they acurately record what happened?....so until the humans were created...i guess we had to just guess.
Light was the second thing created after the heavens and the earth and we all know that light comes from the sun.



Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
