A. God wants us to choose faith.
I like A.
What God holds together is something governed by the laws of nature he created.So why is it that creationists have to maintain that God acted in all sorts of illogical ways, and then have to override his own natural laws to fix the situation he had created?Creationists seem to believe in a pretty muddle headed God.
You'll need to be more specific before I would have the
opportunity to draw a similar muddle headed conclusion.

In that case gamma rays are light as well, and so are radio waves. Light generally means electromagnetic radiation in the range 400-700nm.
Today I will create plant life.
Well, that's a good days work done.
Tomorrow I've got the Sun to cre.....
Oops, I forgot, plant life needs an energy source.
Oh well, until I get around to creating the Sun tomorrow, I will have to use miraculous means to maintain its life.
Silly old me.
The specific of the Creation process doesn't fit well with a scientific explanation

But as to your point, there was already light on Day One. The Sun was not created to provide light.
It's not a problem. The Sun is not necessary for light.Isn't that a problem with Genesis? We know that without the Sun locally there would be no light. What would the source of this light be without the Sun?

Brighter would be my guess. But I don't have anything from scripture to say one way or another.Are you saying that the Earth would be lit just as brightly without the Sun?

And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. - Revelation 21:23
I'm not concerned with your skepticism. I was just addressing the post.You guess? Because it is written down in a book?
Surely you can understand why we would be skeptical, right?
I was just responding to a question.What does that have to do with the topic of this thread, apparent age?
