Shlama Akhi Chuck,
I won't argue about what the light was. We know God said, "Let there be light, and there was light. And God separated the light from the darkness, and God called the light Day and the darkness He called Night." I don't believe God created His Son or begot Him on the first day. I don't think you do either, so you should clarify your last statement, which sounds like you are saying Jesus is God's creation Whom He made on day one.
"God is Light", wrote John. That is not to say that the universe is filled with blinding physical light. The light God created was separated from the darkness, so the light created on day one was not omnipresent; otherwise it would have shone everywhere at all times and there would have been no darkness.
But this is not the subject of our original discussion. Do you see the reasonableness of 6- 24 hour days of creation, and the unreasonableness of long ages for each day?
