Here are some of my thoughts about this topic. It says in Genesis that on the *first day* God said "let there be light". If there was no division between light and dark, then how could there even be a *first* day by our measure? I don't know... perhaps the concept of a day for God is (or was)...

I posted my first message on these forums where I asked the question of this thread deep down in the comments, but it kinda got lost among all the other comments, so I thought I'd create a new thread. Apologies for the length of this message, but I think there's some context needed. I was...
