Dod god create the earth first and then the rest of the universe?

Question

what ya think.

Answer 1

Of course he did!

Answer 2

you do not need the sun for light, God is a sourse of light for the first couple days.

posisbly,...to show us what he meant by a day and night
you would expect a awesome God to have an awesome watch

posisbly...because stars are a dime a dozen people are rare and what goes on earth is closer to the heart of God

possibly ...to rule out the day age theory since plants created on day 3 would not live to day 4

possibly... to continue the definition of day satarted in the start
day...light
night --dark

continues with day and night seperated with morning and evening
continues here with the sun ruling the day and moon ruling the night and so the language continues ocnsitant with the start


see
God called the light, Day. And He called the darkness, Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.’

Genesis 1:14–19 tells us that the sun and the moon were not created until Day 4, never­theless there was still a day-night cycle as at present (Exodus 20:11). To account for this, creationists usually conclude that God provided the Day 1 light source, that it was on one side of Earth, and that it was the cause of the day-night sequence on a rotating Earth.1

In our experience, light needs a source, but this source does not have to be the sun, moon or stars. Other sources are fire, lightning, electric light globes, fluorescent tubes, luminous insects such as glow-worms and fireflies, etc. In the Bible, we also find many examples of light without the sun, but originating from a supernatural source. Most of these are associated with the glory of God, which in the Bible is usually mani­fested as light, although sometimes as fire. This is not surprising, as the Bible tells us that ‘God is light’ (1 John 1:5; cf. John 8:12), and also that ‘God is a consuming fire’ (Deuteronomy 4:24; Hebrews 12:29).

Genesis 1:1 states that God made "the heavens and the earth" and the earth was formless. So he then made light (the sun) so i assume the rest of the universe came after earth.
