Genesis question about the creation. Light and Sun?

Question

At the very beginning god said "Let there be light" and then made the darkness. He called the light day and the dark night. On the forth day he made the sun moon and stars. What is the different between the light and dark and the sun and moon. they are both light. I don't understand what the first light was if it was not the sun.

Answer 1

The first mass structure Singularity according to the First chapter of Genesis of The Biblical record of Creation was the micro mass structure of the particle of Light.



Light is basically an invisible particle and unless a particle of light flux enter our eye we have no information about our surroundings.



The Sun is basically a nuclear mass structure forming a nuclear fusion process between a Carbon to helium and Hydrogen cycle ,whose mass loss radiation manifests itself in term of protons ,alpha a beta and gamma radiation and mixed with it light radiation.

The atomic fusion reaction of the sun radiation produces two thirds of the total radiation in the form of light.



Logically it makes sense to believe that light particle is the basic structure all all the atoms inherent to the Sun.



Hence, the indication of the first mass creation to be light does make both Scientific and Biblical sense.As it was out lined in Genesis of the Holy Bible.



Nevertheless .The nature of light still remains a puzzle with very little explication by main stream Physics(the Standard model).Not much is explicated in this model about the basics of Creation when our Creators moved Upon the Waters.

The Biblical meaning in the first verse of Genesis about the creation of the Heavens is the Hebrew Word "Shamayin. "

Sha mean High and Mayin means waters. Water is another word for fluid. We basically live in a fluid just like a fish lives in water.



Light only comes out of atoms. If that is true than atoms are made of light just like the whole volume of the Sun is made of light

Answer 2

You have only isolated one error of Genesis. You must remember that the Bible is a collection of tales of ancient tribes. You have seen overcast days where there is no evidence of the sun in the sky, the ancients assumed that there was some other source of light and wrote it that way. "The spirit of God moved over the waters," Where did the waters come from? The moon merely reflects light from the sun, the ancients had no way of understanding this. I could go on, and on, but you must get the idea by now.

Answer 3

"What is the different between the light and dark and the sun and moon. they are both light"



Last time I looked at a piece of the moon (in a science museum) it was a lump of rock, not "light".



Of course if you don't believe anybody has actually been to the moon and brought some of it back to earth, that's your problem not mine.



The sun isn't "light" either, but the reasons behind that fact involve a bit more science than actually looking at a piece of the sun in a museum.

Answer 4

most can not answer this question. Universally speaking...

'First light' does not have to be visible...it can be anything on the Electromagnetic spectrum.....

That is what you MUST address first. But where on the electromagnetic spectrum? Most won't get this either.......



From a scientific point of view, it's all about creation. How things came into being, but since all scientists down here haven't understood the full creation story yet...then it's a funky puzzle/labyrinth.



CERN is in the dark...and will be even after they run the LHC.



First Light was not the Sun....it was the singularity or the quantum field emergence into the universe for the first time...as far as the universe being created.



As far as our solar system, the Sun would have came first. Would it be sunlight? Possibly. The Bible seems to be confused then......

Answer 5

Honorable Elijah Muhammad through Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan teach us The Bible teaches, “In the beginning...”—it does not tell you when that beginning was, but it is letting you know there was a beginning—“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” So darkness preceded light. Now let us take a look into this “darkness.”The Holy Qur'an calls it “triple darkness.” It is layers of darkness, but, in that darkness is the power to create life. In that darkness there is the germ of light process began which took place in the darkness itself—in the dark womb of space where God was in the process of his Own Self-Creation. He was atom itself, spinning and evolving in this darkness of space and orbs of consciousness. He alone defined what and who we are from the explosion of the first atom of thought. Therefore, his make corresponds to the “dark matter” or material of darkness out of which he produced himself to become mathematically the number one.

Answer 6

Genesis is a section from the bible. This is the Astronomy & Space topic and we try not to actually answer religious questions here since they are off topic.



Your question is a matter of faith and not science.

Answer 7

are you looking for a cosmological answer, or a biblical interpretation one?



because the two do indeed differ drastically, but you posted this in astronomy.



so, aside from being confused here, i'll just say... light existed for a lot longer than four days before our sun first formed.

Answer 8

Sums up the bible quite neatly. Full of glaring errors and inconsistencies.



Unfortunately the bible and Christianity were written and created to help control the uneducated masses. these days it has no relevance and fails to stand up to even basic scrutiny.

Answer 9

The bible does say that a day to God is a thousand to us, so that would mean that it was 4000 years for the sun to form. That also means that the earth is only 13000 years old and the human race 6000 years old according to the bible. maybe the difference between the light and the sun is that Light was created like an entity, like time. so basically, without light the sun would not be luminous, like if you had a clock but time was not created, the clock would not suddenly move.





By jove no! My patience is running low with you guttersnipes. Why must you all persist in presenting me with thumbs down? good day to you all i say.
