Now Jon why do you have to directly attack me be referring to me as stupid that is not nice.I took some time to read your orthodox interpretation and it is erroneous as usual.Nothing more than pathetic apologetics to make up for all the stupidity found in your man made bible.

4.And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5.And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Read it again,first of all it is really ridiculous to state that God "divided the light from the darkness" since light and darkness cannot coexist in the same space.The correct interpretation of darkness is the absence of light.Verse 5 as you can see says nothing about light not being able to penetrate the Earth it says he defined day and night and ends with 'it was the evening and the morning."So yes in as is shown in this verse there was night and day without the sun.
You said:"As a sidenote, light (photons) existence precedes the existence of the sun, anyway."If this is true it is irrelevant because the Earth derives its light from the sun.
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.
If you took a moment to scrutinize this verse a little better it states that God made two lights,this is talking about an act of creation so this verse alone destroys your orthodox interpretation.He made the sun and the moons and the stars on the fourth day.So it looks like your orthodox interpreters were wrong and simply practicing what church fathers did best:Apologetics!In case you are wondering I was going to leave this issue alone but your calling me stupid just set me off again.
