I'm not criticizing you on the issue, just clarifying. The first two verses of Genesis 1 regard the state of the cosmos at creation. Once you understand that the structure of the chapter is quite clear. (And yes, these are 24 hour days, with mornings and evenings, otherwise the installation of the sabbath would be meaningless.) Notice also on the first day light came into being and on the fourth, the sun, moon and starts were placed there to inhabit the light. There is no meaningful way to read this material as coincident with science.
Ah, yes. There's that, too.
Yes and note Lion has utterly ignored that the Bible blatantly has the Earth created days before the Sun despite his out of context verse and undoubtedly knowing what it said in the day to day description.
