In my opinion, it's a mistake to apply mythology to modern science. It also feels rather forced. I prefer to appreciate mythology for what it is and not read further into it. However, to each their own.
In my opinion, the Bible is given too much authority and is taken too literally. It's not a book of modern science and isn't compatible with modern science. Why is it that people continually try to force scientific compatibility?
I looked into this a while ago and found the following:
If the Sun Is Created on Day 4, What Is the Light on Day 1? - TheTorah.com
The website explains something referred to as "the buried light". You may find it of interest.
Good day to you all,
I go by Ecaerea. I'm a theistic solitary witch. I walk a primarily left hand path. I have been practicing since I turned 18. My practices are diverse, though include shadow work, divination, interaction with spirits, energy manipulation, meditation and psychic development...
