Excerpt from The First Chapter of Genesis, as the Rock Foundation for Science and Religion

One of the most seemingly absurd things in the order of events as recorded in Genesis is the appearance of light before that of the heavenly bodies. But, as stated in proposition 4 above, no one could dispute that in the natural order light could penetrate the clouds enough to make a distinction between night and day long before the sun, moon and stars could be located in the heavens. The only question is as to how long this condition could have continued. Men assume that it must have been very short. But this assumption is contrary to all other assumptions regarding cosmic processes. It may have been long enough to admit of all the events recorded in Genesis I. Men, even now, might learn something from one whose wisdom in this matter has been so wonderfully demonstrated.
