I know that many people scoff at the mere mention of Bible and science in the same sentence, but do you think the first people to write down Genesis knew about the importance of light to the rest of the world? Could they have guessed that space was a vacuum? I wonder if they did. Is it coincidence that the days of creation revealed the priority creation events?
The order of the events is one of the things that people scoff at more than any other, but look carefully - Day one is Light, which might also be considered the beginning of all energy. Day two is the dividing of the atmosphere, which is "the water above," and the earth, which is the "water below." Day three is the dry ground and plants. Day four is the sun, moon and stars. Day five is birds and the sea creatures. Day six the earth produced the animals, and God fashioned humans by his own hand out of the earth.
Not only are these days in the exact same order as evolution's representation of the events, each day's product is a necessary ingredient for the following days. I am not suggesting to you that we should push religious beliefs as science, but if you study the Bible at all, you will notice the people who wrote it were observant of the world around them, and they knew the significance of God's blessings on it. The earth is a rich and beautiful place, but we don't want to be the spoiled rich kids who won't clean up after they wreck the nice sports car and trash the nice apartment our Father gave us.
