I was reading John's Gospel not long ago where it's explained that Jesus is God.
John 1:4-5 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Here we see that light can shine in darkness without displacing it. Thick darkness of that type is not the same is the absence of light. It is the presence of darkness. I also noticed the following passage:
Genesis 2:4-6 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth and every herb of the field before it grew for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
By making the plants before they were growing there would be no need for sunlight. Any illumination required would come from Jesus, permeating Creation with no darkness anywhere just like the mist watering the ground even though rain had not been created. Jesus was right there, in The Beginning, providing whatever the plants needed.
I John 1:5
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
