That shall me by enlightment for you today.

If you use Genesis as a precedent for scientific questions you aren't going to get very far. The sun and moon were not created on the "4th day" of creation. Light didn't just happen on the "first day" of creation. Light comes from stars. The first stars formed from immense clouds of hydrogen some hundreds of thousands of years after the big bang. No scientific inquiry will attempt to reconcile nature with ancient religious myth.
The scientific view will acknowledge things that can be shown to exist and processes that have been observed or are theoretically the most likely. Natural history deals with fundamental forms of energy, matter, and physical laws. Gas and gravity, not God and miracle.

The authors of the bible did not know that on an overcast day it was actually the sun that provided the light. There was plenty of of other things that they got wrong also.

Light Was the first mass structure formed by our Creator as outlined in Genesis chapter one of the Holy Bible.
Light being the premordial component of all the Mass strucures in the Universe had to be created first. Then out of this component which is anologous to a fractal could be used to create the complex strucures of atoms, and then stars and galaxies as well as Earth. The stars are useful visible bodies in the night sky and the moon reflecting light from the Sun (the closet star to the earth)for the farmer to cultivate at night. And finaly the special Creation of the Earth and all biological life there in would use the Sun's radiation to support life on Earth.
Genesis first chapter is a very elementary description of Creation and must be understood within its context.

The big bang could have been the source of light. It's interesting how the writers of the Bible knew (by Gods revelation) that light came before matter.

That's the trouble with the bible. If you know anything about science you can't get past Gen. 1 without saying "hmmmm, this doesn't seem right."

There are so many sources of light outside of the sun- the stars, or perhaps the Big Bang itself...

Actually Mr. P if you go all the way to the book of Revelation AND elsewhere in the Bible it states that God is the source of light.

Revelation 21:23 " The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God give it light, and the Lamb is its lamp". God with all his glory is what gives light.
