Also, where did the light come from for the first three days, if not from the sun?
Sorry for all the questions, it could just be my woman's brain acting up again.
Thank you

It's not your "woman's brain" acting up, dear. It's your lack of faith. You see, if the Holy Word of God reports that light was made prior to those instruments of light (sun and moon and stars), then either you believe it or you don't. If you don't believe the Word of God to be accurate, then you risk not believing such important things such as talking serpents (Genesis 3:1), or flaming swords that protects the Tree of Life against prideful, sinful man (Genesis 3:22), in a perfect garden that miraculously evades Google maps (Genesis 3:24). If you don't believe the Lord's Word to be Trustworthy, why would you believe in Heaven, the window of which Noah himself saw (Genesis 7:11)? If you think the Lord can be mistaken about such simple things like optical physics, then you would hoave no reason to be assured that all animals fear man, even the shark or bear who doesn't always remember this (Genesis 9:2).
But it's not just the facts themselves you will understand to be fibs and fabrications, the moral lessons are likely to be ignored. Why, if you cannot trust the Lord to say what He means and mean what He says, then how would you ever know that the morally acceptable thing to do when confronted with hosting angels who are *this close* to being anally bombarded by a gang of insatiable gays is to offer virgin daughters instead (Genesis 19:8; 2 Peter 2:7-8)? From what other source else can you know the relationship between obedience and salt (Genesis 19:26)?
I implore you to search your heart, deeply, find the root sin that blinds you to the Truth, confess it, and truly accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior in order to avoid eternal damnation (Romans 10:9), as well as lifelong ignorance and moral retardation (Proverbs 9:10).
