Genesis chapter one sets the boundaries.How? Do you even know what the word "how" means? How is there a magical prevention of "kinds" from crossing? And what the heck is a "kind"? A genus? An order? A family? A phylum? Are you just making this stuff up as you go?

I have heard you try to resolve the light of day 1 and 4 and it is not satisfactory.
Genesis 1:3-5 doesn't have to mean "Let light exist for the first time anywhere", but can simply mean "Let there be light on the earth".
Genesis 1:3-5 could mean that God had some light source in space temporarily light up half the earth as bright as day, three, literal, 24-hour days before he created the sun (Genesis 1:14-19).
(See also post 12)
The evening/night and the morning/day, together, equal one Day, Genesis 1:5Didn't you mean: "...literal, 24-hour days after he created the sun..."?
The evening/night and the morning/day, together, equal one Day, Genesis 1:5
Gen 1:5
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning = "echad/one" day.
The literal 24 hour day began on day 1 of creation week. The light revolves around the earth and the darkness revolves, but they are divided and one revolution of night/darkness and day/morning/light =one "echad" "Day".
The sun is not the light, but was made to be a mennorah as a collector of the Light to refract it back out and govern the light by day.
When making a poll you should always include other options than just yes or no. I can't vote in your poll because I'm not sure. I think it may be a possibililty but other than that, who knows?History of the Millennium
o Jewish Origins
Millennium, Encyclopedia Britannica, eleventh edition, page 459
In six days God created the world, on the seventh He rested. But a day of God is equal to a thousand years (Psalm 90:4). Hence the world will last for six thousand years of toil and labor; then will come one thousand years of Sabbath rest for the people of God in the kingdom of the Messiah. This idea must have already been very common in the first century before Christ.
Eschatology, The Jewish Encyclopedia, V, page 211
The present world of toil is to be followed by a Sabbatical millennium, the world to come. Of these the six millenniums were again divided, as in Parsism, into three periods: the first 2,000 years devoid of the law; the next 2,000 years under the rule of the law; and the last 2,000 years preparing amid struggles and through catastrophes for the rule of the Messiah.
o Early Christians
Barnabas, Epistle of Barnabas (100 AD)
Of the Sabbath He speaketh in the beginning of the creation; And God made the works of his hands in six days, and He ended on the seventh day, and rested on it. In six thousand years the Lord shall bring all things to an end; for the day with Him signifieth a thousand years; and this He himself beareth me witness, saying, Behold, the day of the Lord shall be as a thousand years. Therefore, children, in six days, that is in six thousand years, everything shall come to an end. And He rested on the seventh day. This he meaneth; when His Son shall come, and shall abolish the time of the Lawless One, and shall judge the ungodly, and shall change the sun and the moon and the stars, then shall He truly rest on the seventh day.
Irenaeus, Against Heresies (180 AD)
For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded. And for this reason the Scripture says: Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their adornment. And God brought to a conclusion upon the sixth day the works that He had made; and God rested upon the seventh day from all His works. This is an account of the things formerly created, as also it is a prophecy of what is to come. For the day of the Lord is as a thousand years; and in six days created things were completed: it is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end at the sixth thousand year.

Physically impossible. Try it in a dark room.
You need to read Lewis' distinction between 'natural' miracles and 'supernatural' miracles. A supernatural miracle is one in which a natural event occurs apart from time. You have turned the normal celestial mechanics (which is miracle enough) into an ongoing supernatural miracle. These chapters are in GOD IN THE DOCK and/or MERE CHRISTIANITY and/or CHRISTIAN REFLECTIONS. (I will try to find them more exactly).
The scientist-become-Christians who did a great dvd on 'natural' miracles is called THE PRIVILEGED PLANET and is prob online.
Your theory of the sun is a magicalization that is medieval, ie, pre-modern.

Well then you should ask your question as to if we think it's possible since you say none of us know if it's right or not. With your options you wanted us to take a stand on what is true and what is false. Again, I don't know whether it's true or false as I think it might go either way so I was not able to vote in the poll.I didn't include an option for "I don't know" because that's what everyone would have to answer. None of us know if it's right, it's just a theory. The question is just "do you think..." If the poll results are 300-0, we could still all be wrong.
I never heard that before, but the creation of the sun on the 4th day is an oracle of the coming of the Son of God in flesh as the Glory of God, in the 4th millennial "Day". Do a Bible search on the glory and the Light which He alone bears.Exactly 4,000?
which begs the question of what kind of light are we talking about on the 1st day that determines day and night?
