Where did the light come from?

  Ah, my mistake. Misread that. However, you do know that, technically, splitting a "proton and a neutron" apart results in a free proton and a free neutron.

  Splitting a proton happens (in a sense) in particle accelerators daily. When the energy densities get high enough, you get free quarks (the things that make up protons).

  As to the rest of your post, I have no clue what you're trying to say. To be clear: We have discovered many planets orbiting nearby stars. The closer the star, the easier it is to detect them.

  We haven't detected planets around distant stars because our telescopes aren't good enough, so no one bothers looking.

 

There are probably many "suns" with planets revolving around them.

 

 

Light has always existed because God has always existed and God is himself a source of light.

<DIV class=SearchResults><SPAN class=NavigationLinks>1 John 1:5</SPAN>
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: <B>God</B> is <B>light</B>; in him there is no darkness at all. </DIV>&nbsp;

Genesis 1: 1 tells us that God created the heavens and the earth.
Since the heavens includes the billions of stars and billions of galaxies, then light definitely existed before God caused light to finally penetrate to the earth's surface by separation of the waters from the waters as described later.

This dilution of the earth's atmosphere permitted the light from the heavenly bodies such as the moon and the Sun to become visible from the earth's surface. So it is in reference to their visibility from the earth's surface that he "made" them to shine during that particular creative day.


BTW
The vast quantaties of water that God suspended via separation would rain down in Noah's day making the heavenly bodies shine even more clearly through our atmosphere. It would also allow cosmic ray penetration to a greater extent.

I thought that electrons produced quarks. apart from that I have not got a comfortable explanation as to the distribution of elements in the solar system. One thing to be considered is the the difference in the cores of the cores of the planets and the amount of radioactivity produced

Electrons, protons, and neutrons are made of quarks. Three quarks make up one electron (or proton, or neutron).

As for the distribution of elements, it's explained by the solar formation models. How well, I'd have to look up. Some of it is simply temperature differentials in the nebula (it was hotter near the center). There were a lot of forces at work near ignition (and soon after).

The first discovery of quarks involved electrons.I am a little behind the times
sorry Morat

Don't take my word for it. I'm going by stuff I remember, and my memory is often wrong...at least on details. Feel free to look it up. I'm just too lazy to give you a link.

Electricity makes light too. Ever notice a lightening bolt?

There are theories of physics that say nothing ever disappears, nothing. It just goes somewhere else, becomes something else...

past that it's probably over my head.

Okay a simple explanation, light is produced from other forms of energy.

That's right and God is light. And as it was so shall it be.

Revelation 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Revelation 22:5
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

<SUP>Job 38:19 Where is the&nbsp;way where light dwells? And as for darkness, where is its abode,


How, except by divine inspiration, could Job have known that light does not dwell in a place, but a way? For light, as modern man has discovered, involves motion (wave motion). Traveling 186,000 miles a second, it can only dwell in a way.</SUP>

Now that's a tortured stretch.

To answer the original question, I have a theory on this one.

Allow me to use the analogy of an electrical circuit. IIRC, the electrons in a circuit move at a speed of a few centimeters per second. So in order to get the electrons from the distant power source, the circuit has to be pumped for a long time, right? No, the electrons are already there. Even though the time distance for the electrons to make a complete circuit might be enormous, the electricity is everywhere it needs to be at all times.

Back to the creation of light and stars analogy, I think the light may have been created en route. This is just a theory, but I think it reconciles the Bible with the evidence that the stars are billions of years old.

Again, it's just a theory....

Same text NIV (Job 38)
19 -
What is the way to the abode of light?
And where does darkness reside?

God continues in verse 20

Can you take them to their places?
Do you know the paths to their dwellings?

In other words what/where is the path to the home of the light and the dark and can Job go there if he knows the location. - Can he go to the sun or to the stars, like God can?

The Bible ain’t no science book no-how!&nbsp;
