@David Read:

As for your verse from Revelation, read down to verse verse 25:

And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

I know you probably wanted to use Revelation 21:23-24 as an indication it was probably God’s personal light. — I would have probably agreed with you IF IT WERE NOT for verse 25…

Verse 25 clearly says that there is no night with the God’s personal glory… The problem here is that leaves us with the problem of how we can justify there being “morning” AS WELL as “evening” since there could be no night…So obviously this was not the light source for the first three Creation days.

So this leads me back to my question: What is the point of God creating a light source, destroying it only to make another one?

@David Read:

No one says that the builders can “create with the word.” — God cannot be compared to builders.

Did God need a “power generator” to see what he was doing while he was creating the earth and the creatures in it before the forth day?– I would venture to say “no.”

Implying that God would probably need a power generator WOULD still work to demean…since it would set limitations on his creative ability.

Does God have limitations to his creative ability? No. Do human builders? Yes.

As I was reading this reply, I remembered one mocking comment that a skeptic of Genesis said. He said:

And God saw the light was good, because now he could see what he was doing.

Now I can see this with human builders… But I stand by my statement that it demeans God.

@Ken:

Let’s say we were in a room together and you were all teaching me the correct interpretation of Genesis. Let’s say each of your as teachers had a different, albeit slight, interpretation. Would it be wrong of me as a novice to ask if there was an empirical methodology to resolve the issue. Isn’t this what science does without the bias of faith or non faith?

It wouldn’t be wrong of you at all. In fact, I would encourage it.

@BobRyan:

I didn’t say that that Revelation 21 said that the earth had no light; just that it cannot work with the first three Creation days having both “morning and evening” because Rev 21:25 clearly says that in God’s glory there is NO night, and therefore no evening.
