>In Genesis, verse 3 introduces light and verse 11 introduces vegetation. It's literally the very beginning of the bible, how do you fuck this up?
Try reading it again...He created light, ie photons, and he "saw was that it was good" on the first day.
Imagine he instead said "let there be photons"

He did not create a source to project photons continually on the earth until the 4th day you brainlet, which is after he created vegetation. Ergo if the days represent epochs he would have needed to heat and supply light to plants for eons for no reason other than poor planning and forethought. That is extremely unrepresentative of God so therefore the logical conclusion is that the days in Genesis were literal 24 hour periods and the plants when about 24 hours without light.

Light is just energy btw, which can change form into matter, ie all the physical elements.

Imagine it's like saying "god said let there be water" on the first day. That includes ice, liquid and vapor, ie the different forms of water.

God creating light on the first day is probably just his way of saying he created all physical elements and binding laws of the universe along with different forms of light such as photons and what we call matter so he could observe and call it "good" (albeit all bouncing around in a mathematically valid yet formless way). It's really the most scientifically logical first step.

This further explains away the issue of "separating the waters" on day two, implying water already existed. With the interpretation/fact that light also = matter it is absolutely no issue, water already did exist before the 2nd day started...
