[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 2678419, member: 2189"] Taken as an absolute literal light, your understanding would seem on some level to be of value to your conclusion. Your view on some level was also the view of the father of the Big Bang theory, oddly enough a Catholic Priest, Father George Lemaitre. Funny that so-called atheistic science holds to an explanation of our existence that came from a Catholic Priest. Lemaitre saw the "Big Bang" as that instant flash of light described in the Genesis texts of the events of the first day. Obviously from that point forward the following events were not as well set to a literal 24 hour day time scale but that can be debated another time. Continuing and understanding the events of Day 4, one explanation is that the Day 1 light is some type of cosmic glow. This might be explained with some type of plasma event that can fit into the hebrew usage of the word translated light. One usage relates to lightning that can have a kind of plasma state known as ball lightning and this might explain a literal understanding but my own view is metaphorical. There is also the POV of not taking this first light as literal light but light of another form. The same hebrew word translated light in the first Genesis verses is also used another 122 times in the Old Testament. What if some of those uses were not meant as a literal form of light but rather used in a metaphorical or allegorical sense? Christians are told to walk in the light of Jesus and does than mean Jesus as a cosmic flashlight he holds on his followers or is this metaphorical for following the teachings of Jesus? In fact, change it to a literal cosmic flashlight and even most christians would be doing eye rolls at you and rightly so. Jesus is the, wait for it.... "light of the world." Hmmmmm! Something you might find of interest to study is [B]ex nihilo[/B] or creation from nothing, [B]ex materia [/B]or creation out of pre-existent matter or [B]creatio ex deo[/B] or creation out of the being of God. A little food for thought. Oh and that's metaphorical food and not literal food! ;) [/QUOTE]
