Paulk, Now I'm not a theologian, but on day 1 the sun was made a light(went nucleur), but it wasn't a visible light in the firmament(arched sky), on day 4 it was made a visible light in the firmament unto the earth, he made the moon to be a visible light in the night sky, and the stars too. Leaning the problem with the misinterpretation of the 4th God Day (1000 years = 1 God day) 2 Peter 3:8. God made the sun is that it says he made the stars also, meaning "he made" in my KJV is italised meaning these words were added for clarification, if not used it makes more sense, the stars became visible in the night sky too, which was the intent of kjv genesis 1:14-15 for these light to visible in the firmament (arched sky) and it was so, etc...
P.S. Think when the words are italised, the translators wanted to make sure it was noted it was only added for clarity, so they
wouldn't be guilty of tampering with the Word, kinda like in other instances where men were added that if you would take it literally, it would tend to make one think God didn't include the woman, but don't see it so, sometimes the clarification of the translators acutally seems to make the verse clearer, but appears in respect to the stars its makes it as clear as mud, so you need to take this into context, and the verse becomes clear, they were made to be visible too, etc...
kjv Gen 1:16 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.
