But given that it is so wrong, why believe it at all, here it has it on the first act of creation.... It cannot precede the first day AND be done on the third day
You can't have it both ways, Genesis is a real mess it contains at least two different creation stories

Have you not considered that you're interpretation is wrong?
God is light.
Isaiah 60:19
Quote:The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory
Revelation 22:5
Quote:And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 21:23
Quote:And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
It clearly states in the beginning that the spirit of God moved over the face of the earth.
Now, do you still interpret 'light' as meaning the sun?
I've never heard anything so stupid, why if the lord is light would the bible describe days ? (as in dark sometimes and light others).
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.
