    No doubt about it Scarlett O, you got me on that one, and I appreciate it. This will force me to go back to John 11 and ask the text what is meant by Jesus saying there are 12 hours in the day. I know the answer is there. Meanwhile, do you think there is a chance God might have evenly divided the day and night way back when? You do remember the world going dark during the 3 hours of the day that Jesus was on the cross paying for our sins but there was not a division of a day and night.

    Yes. I look at that 3 hours of darkness as supernatural, of course. But not part of day and night.

    God was, in my opinion, displaying for all to see his pouring out his wrath upon sin, upon Christ.

    And as the Bible says that the earthquake and "all that happened" made the soldiers very afraid and to exclaim that Jesus was truly the Son of God - the 3 hours of darkness was a miracle also meant to open the eyes of people.

    Scripture teaches we do not know when God created the universe, or formed the earth, or established our 24 hour days. God declared this truth after He had given us the Genesis 1 account of creation.

    In reality, darkness and light.

    God spoke out of darkness light to shine. From 2 Cor 4:6 Ἐκ σκότους φῶς λάμψαι

    IMHO the question is out of what darkness
    what light was to shine

    JD731 has the answer

    BTW only is the light established as good in Gen 1:4 not the darkness.

    It appears to me, the darkness of this age was present on the already created earth Gen1:1 at the moment of Genesis 1:2.

    It was the darkness of this age God spoke the Light to shine out of. IMHO
    God called the Light that good, day and Jesus asked, as if they should have known, that, of the of day, [light that good] contained twelve hours.
