How is there a sunset and a sunrise before the creation of the sun and moon?
14......And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15......And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
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.
17......And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18......And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19......And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
If the sunrise and the sunset is what determines a day, how where the first three days determined? I don’t have an answer for this myself, other than He’s God and I don’t know everything. Thoughts???
