What one has to understand is that the book of Genesis was first handed down verbally through the generations. Remember the "telephone" game when you were a kid?
Furthermore, in the book of Deuteronomy it states that a day in the eyes of God is the same as 1000 years in the eyes of man. We're talking about primitive man who had next to no working knowledge of math. 1000 was used to signify a great many. So really, creation took 6 great manys (sp?).
tl;dr - What if God created through the Big Bang (let there be light) so that we could evolve through intelligent design?

if god's day is 1000 human years, how did plants survive for 1000 years without sunlight? the sun, moon, and stars was created on the 4th day - one "day" after plants were created.

You're taking it too literally, we don't know the exact time. And even so he crated light first, regardless of the sun, moon and stars. Even when the Bible says God's day is 1000 years, it doesn't mean exactly a thousand. It's just an expression of quantity.

[quote] And even so he crated light first, regardless of the sun, moon and stars.[/quote]what was the source of this light if the sun, moon, and stars weren't created until the 4th day?
-
It doesn't specify. But it's possible it was a self sustaining light, not needing a source or boundary until the sun. I think the creator of the universe would be able to make something like that, don't you?
-
[quote] But it's possible it was a self sustaining light[/quote]no. light, by definition, needs a source. you can just have a ball of light that is made of...nothing. even the sun is made of something.
-
You're joking, right?
-
not at all. according to the book of genesis, plants were created on the third day, and the sun on the fourth day.

And yes, I went to Easter service today at my church that I attend regularly.
