The point is not the hominem, but the nature of the orthodox interpretation of Genesis, as opposed to the heterodox interpretation presented by chatpilot.
Me, being an orthodox Christian, I do not accept chatpilots interpretations, but I accept the orthodox Christian interpretation.
So he can attack his straw men all he likes. It makes no difference, because it is not my belief he is attacking.

As the old saying goes; "With God, all things (no matter how ludicris) are possible.The sun did already exist, but it's light did not penetrate the earth in the earth's early stages (Genesis 1:1-2).
As a sidenote, light (photons) existence precedes the existence of the sun, anyway.
