We are told also, that on the first day God said, "Let there be light, and there was light;" and afterwards we find that the sun and moon were not created or made to shine till the fourth day. This apparently manifest contradiction has been reconciled by modern science, which proves that light exists independently of the sun, and must itself have been an original and independent C.
