本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛起初（In the beginning） 神创造天地。这天地不包括太阳。因为The earth was barren, with no form of life; It was under a roaring ocean covered with darkness. 那时没有光，当然也没有太阳。
第一天，God said, "I command light to shine!" And light started shining. 没有说光来自何物。我们知道很多物理化学过程可以发光。神造光，最客观的理解是神在第一天造出具有一定波长范围的电磁辐射。
第三天，God said, "I command the water under the sky to come together in one place, so there will be dry ground." And that's what happened. God named the dry ground "Land," and he named the water "Ocean." 神在第三天没有再造一个The earth。也没有把In the beginning造的The earth毁掉。The earth 和ocean 是从In the beginning延续而来。
第四天，God said, "I command lights to appear in the sky and to separate day from night and to show the time for seasons, special days, and years. 15I command them to shine on the earth." And that's what happened. 16God made two powerful lights, the brighter one to rule the day and the other [5] to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17Then God put these lights in the sky to shine on the earth, 18to rule day and night, and to separate light from darkness. 在这里lights包括two powerful lights（the brighter one and the other）和stars.。很明显，lights 既指本身发光的天体，也指本身不发光的天体。因为stars 中有恒星也有行星。为什么没有写The sun and the moon? Because in Old Testament times some people worshiped the sun and the moon as though they were gods.（引自Bible’s footnotes）
很明显，根据创世记，上帝先造地球，后造太阳和星星。我没有证据认为宇宙一定不是神造的。也不能说圣经一定是错的。但我有理由作出结论：如果宇宙是神创的，它就不是按圣经所记载的顺序。如果它是按圣经所记载的顺序，我们观察到的这个宇宙就不可能是神创的。更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
