Terry Pratchet said that light isn't the fastest thing in the universe. He points out that wherever light goes, dark got there first.

Current understanding is that when the universe cooled enough to allow electrons to bind with protons forming hydrogen, the first light was generated about 370,000 years after this universe commenced.

If we are to believe that big bang theory of the origin of the universe then the initial explosion would have been the first light source.

Fairy tales are not required to make sense.

I don't think the originators of the story had much knowledge of cause and effect.

When I was a Christian I used to believe all that nonsense. They had me hook, line, and sinker. Now I understand Moses revealed a new book called "How I Did It" and it was written by god.

Dark is dark, light is light!!!

Hence how could anything create without light!!!

Unless you live deep in a cave or the inside of a blackhole!!!

Does it really matter???

I like AC/DCs version better….

Nothing, because it's made up and didn't happen.

Well, until then he was working in the dark.

I think this god was fat and tired, she wanted a light soda so she created the first Pepsi Light!

A little known fact is that that god was a drunk, which explained many of the design considerations that made final production. What he did was decide to light a fart on fire. Of course, the poets and priests didn't find this funny, so they changed the quote a bit. The scientists have also found evidence of this but have mistakenly thought this was a rapid expansion from a singularity that was jokingly named "the big bang." Sadly, their description was rather appropriate, even if it was for all the wrong reasons. (Imagine reading it with the voice of Douglas Adams.)

I had to look up the 7 days of creation to understand what you were talking about. Its very funny. Perhaps he just needed a little light on day 1.... to light his bong perhaps.

It may have helped generate the modern idea of Lucifer, ( Lucifer means light. ) as a fallen angel, the idea that the first thing God, the god of goodness, creates, is his opposite the god of evil. Though it is much mixed up with Greek and Egyptian mythologies in the usual tangle. [en.wikipedia.org]

Photons. Those create light. Darkness was also created along with it.

Which ‘god’? Allah? Jesus Christ? Perhaps Trumpty Dumpty?
