Hello Moose,
I wish you had started to post during the discussion with IamJoseph, as he very strongly disagrees with your position. I disagree with his position but for different reasons.
To state that the Earths creation was prior to lights creation is in itself a departure from known reality. This topic is asking for the theory of how light was first created, after the Earths creation. It's asking how something that didn't happen happened. Thus, the topic makes no sense in the context of young Earth creationism.
I think a lot of the Biblical textx are a departure from known reality. They would be pretty bland and would not have gotten very far if they were scientifically accurate. Miracles would not be miracles if they alligned with reality. The good bit of all of the faiths texts is the non scientific bit.
My topic did ask for the creationist theory of what happened when God said let there be light. I did not say it had to be before or after Earths creation. I am also not asking how something that did not happen happened. Light came from somewhere. There are scientific theories. There are religious theories. Your theory appears to allign with the scientific theory with God as the force that started it all. This is one theory taken from one interpretation of the information you choose to use. There are plenty of people who would say that your interpretation is incorrect, therefore your version of events is incorrect. IamJoseph would no doubt be one of them. I would say that he would disagree with interpretation of the Genesis text or direct you to another oassage that clarified the issue. I know this because he tried this with me. I have included the original question again.
Please supply the scientific theory of how God created light when he said "let there be light".
Please include the testable elements of the process by which light was created.
include evidence supporting this theory.
This question is open to all creationists, regardless of their affiliation. I have received a variety of answers, all of them I would say supplied by people assuming they have the correct interpretation. Your interpretation is one of many. It is a good answer. As good as most that I have received. You will have to argue with the others with regards to who is right.
Might I suggest you start with IamJoseph as he believes that the Genesis Creation story has light as the first product, and that this alligns exactly with the Big Bang Theory (the first product of the universe was light) and also that his interpretation of scripture and science knowledge is 100% correct. I am not saying I agree with any of what he says, I am just saying that the postition that you have put forward is not the only one and is equally valid as the rest.
