You'd still have to leave out half the text to try arguing that and it would be out of order. As said before, Afolks try at any point to talk on dealing with all the verses and ignore what was noted in verse 14 of Genesis ("And God said, "Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, and let the be the lights in the DOME of the sky to give light upon the earth." And it was so. God made the two great lights - the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night - and the stars. God set them in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth, to rule ove day and night, and to separate light from darkness.")
You can't jump from talking on morning/evening with the light meant rotation since that isn't in the full text itself. This is why folks have noted light could exist outside of darkness - without any of it meaning day and night had to happen immediately.
Like I said before, at the end of the day, I don't care to over-emphasize or minimize folks that prefer a Big Bang theory - I think multiverse theory has always made far more sense anyhow, as existence occurred way before Genesis which notes THIS one world where there was darkness and God brought light. There were always multiple dimensions and they have always intersected, which is why I tend to be skeptical when folks assume things happened ALL at once - and folks center entirely on Genesis instead of seeing what the worldview was in the Near-Eastern world as they explained more fully over time how God created things.
Sorry, my fault, but I was still trying to edit and write more clearly.
So I didn't finish until just now, if you'd look again. Sorry about that!
As you'll see, it's especially literal and precise to the actual wording of Genesis.
I don't add extra assumptions to the first 5 verses, but read the text as it is, and that's how I notice (by real listening) that God is saying all this creation is for us, for our sakes, to make us a very good home.
And as you can see if you read it now, it all fits together perfectly with also the 4th day of creation too, of course.
