Just wondering because God created plants on the third day but the Sun on day four. How did that happen?

Amazing how people actually believe there is another source of light other than the sun. They must believe this because the acknowledge light was created on the first day and the sun on day four, so where is the 'day one' light now?
Also the bible says God created the first rainbow after the great flood. So didn't light refract before that?

That was a really short day... the days can change length to suit the Christians.

Photosynthesis is merely the process plants use to turn light into sugar, etcetera. That doesn't mean that they cannot survive without sunlight for a period of time.
Botonists say that a seedling could survive a few days or a week without light, although Suzanne has pointed out that there was light. Some parasitic plants require no sunlight ever.
Here in New Jersey, my perennials survive all winter underground without light and completely frozen, just like they do in Norway, Greenland, Iceland, etcetera.

Why hold Christians up for ridicule? You don't agree that's fine, but they are allowed their beliefs. And their beliefs are founded in faith, therefore you can't reason it out of them. They're here, they're clearly not going to leave, whatever....just leave them be.
My 10 cent piece of philosophy. Nothing can be created from nothing, and for every action there is a reaction. So IMHO the universe doesn't just wink into existence for no good reason. If all of creation is a reaction there must have been some "original action", and the "Big Bang" just leaves me with more questions.
There must be some potential energy that got the wheel turning. And for me that must be God. That's why I believe in God. I'm no physicist. Not even sure if that's how you spell physicist. But it helps me sleep at night and it keeps steam from coming out of my ears when I think about where we all came from.
Now is God some omnipresent father figure whe loves me. That's the part where I fall into the "I'm really not THAT confident" realm.

Of course we do, Einstein. But may I remind you that God created light FIRST before He created the Sun?
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

What, are you goofy!? Of course Believers believe in photosynthesis.
Light was created on the FIRST DAY, not the fourth.

If God creates everything he can certaintly make something live without sun for a day.

Educated Christians accept photosynthesis, mitosis, nitrogen fixation, active transport, biological evolution, osmosis, glycolysis, and all other natural processes that science has clearly demonstrated as fact.

Yeah, and what's worse, some Christians believe that a "day" in that context actually means about a thousand years.
