My take on the Bible #3

1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Last I knew we need a sun for light. Where is the light coming from since the sun has yet to be created.

To whom is God speaking? If he is doing all the creating, why does he need to “say” anything?


Update 6/16/2011: Thought this would be a good addition just for the fun of it Interactive Bible: Genesis 1:3. Thanks to @Autoantitheist Anon for the link.


1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

"[T]hat it was good" uhm,,,thought God made no junk, as some would say. If God is a perfect being how could he create anything bad? Also does this not question his omniscience, that God wasn't sure if the light was good or bad?

If God just created "light" doesn't that automatically make light separate from darkness? Why would "he" have "divided the two?

God creates light, separates light from darkness, and day from night. Yet the light producing objects (the sun and the stars) aren't created until the fourth day (1:14-19).

1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Wondering who God is speaking to, why is/does he need to assign names?

How can there be "morning" and "evening" when they are both defined by the rising and setting of the sun? The sun does not exist yet.

Why does God need a gender? Why is God referenced as a male?
