Creation Of Day And Night: The Genesis First Flaw

 Advocates of the Bible like to talk about how the Genesis account of the creation of the Earth is the accurate account. The book of Genesis is the first book in the Bible. Adherents of both Judaism and Christianity accept the book of Genesis as a reliable account of the beginning. Anyone who reads the first chapter will see a clear irrefutable mistake. If you read what happened on the first day, then look over to what happened on the fourth day, you can notice a problem.

 I'll summarize it: God created the Sun on the first day, then separated the light from the darkness, thus creating day and night. Then he created the Sun and the moon on the fourth day, and separated the light from the darkness (again). Did you catch that? He created the Sun twice. It's clear that whoever wrote the first chapter of Genesis wasn't paying attention. Of course, apologists are going to scramble around trying to find ways to rationalize it and "explain" it. They have to cover for the mistakes of the Bible since a supposedly perfect God couldn't do it himself. 

From the book of Genesis:

First day:

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

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

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

Fourth day:

1:14- "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years."

1:15- "And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so."

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."

1:17- "And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth."

1:18- "And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good." 

1:19- "And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."

Keep this in mind when you see the Bible being used to promote something that shouldn't be promoted. Human rights should always come before religious dogma.
