How was the sun created on the fourth day?

[CleanShavenJesus]

How was the Sun created on the fourth day if the Sun wasn't created until the fourth day? Four days wouldn't pass without the Sun.

I had read the Bible for decades and never thought of this, to be perfectly frank.

Most Christians, except for YEC'ers still living in the 19th century, don't take Genesis 1 to be a literal representation of the physical creation of the universe. After researching Genesis from a historical perspective, I see a story with incredible amounts of theological and existential meaning, not a literalistic account for the mechanics of creation.

So the rest of it is literal, but the part that doesn't make any sense is metaphorical. How convienent.

Look, I'm not a literalist. I'm just saying, more and more of the Bible is taken metaphorically by Christians as time goes on. Probably because it's been proven that the majority of the Bible could never even have happened. I wonder if the whole thing will be metaphorical in 50 years?
