What claim is the Bible making, in your mind?
The first claim is that water molecules precede the existence of the electromagnetic field (light) with oxygen atoms that existed before stellar nucleogenesis.
Genesis 1
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
