Why was there darkness with the sprit of the lord hovering above the waters?
Why if the lord is an everlasting light do we even need the sun and moon, why even create them ?
What was the earth in orbit round if the sun was created on the third day?
Your post stinks of desperation huggy, every extra you add simply leads to more and more questions you cannot answer, at least YEC's are honest about what they see the scripture say.
Just face it buggy no matter how you torture the meaning of the text it falls well short of any reality we know, simply put the bible is not a reliable source of information about anything to do with the formation of the earth. You are relying more and more heavily on pulling either the silence of the bible or quotes out of the Bible from different places in utter desperation to make things fit, this is not new however and happened a lot throughout the history of various sects of Christianity.

As for you question as to whether or not my interpretation could be wrong, the answer is that any interpretation of false information is by nature wrong.
First of all whatever laws you think need to apply are irrelevant when a supernatural being that can speak matter into existence (something science says is impossible) is introduced.
We all know it is impossible for a human being to survive without a brain, heart, or lungs, yet at the beginning of YOUR creation those things did not exist, they were formed LATER, something else sustained you until those things were put in place.
Humans need to breathe. If you had zero clue about how a human being came to exist (like you do about the universe), I'd suspect stating that you took you first breaths nine months after you were formed would sound just as impossible.

I'm simply letting the bible interpret itself.
Therefore you can't accuse me of making anything, up. Anything explanation given can be found directly in the bible.
