Do you though? In a pitch black house turning a light on in a bedroom helps you see way down the hallway?.what?
Have you even walked around outside early in the morning recently and really observed? Or are you just talking out of your asshole?
Why can I easily see everywhere outside way before the sun comes in? Makes no sense under the stupid NASA theory. You will just convince yourself it does.
Light and dark are two separate things and God separated them. The sun is a greater light that rules the daytime, but it doesn't create daytime.

So why does it get so dark during a total solar eclipse again? Everyone on voat wishes you had some brains.

It doesn't... have you been in one? I was in the path of totality for the last eclipse. It didn't get as dark as nighttime.

It depends. As you get closer to the arctic circle, the shortest day of the year approaches zero length (although the twilight is still fairly bright due to atmospheric scattering), and as you go further north you have a longer and longer sequence of days where the sun doesn't rise. At the north pole itself, the sun slowly spirals down below the horizon for the full 6 months, but that's not in Alaska.

Yeah. I can root around in the kitchen by the lit walls of the living room.
I am a terrible hunter and have spent plenty of time in the woods with nothing to do but watch the light change. The sky starts getting brighter (as a result of those sections coming into line of sight of more and more sun), usable light starts reaching the ground and I can see perfectly well, and the sun pops over the mountain.
Before the sun is visible on the horizon to you, its light is reaching the atmosphere/sky that you can see. Your ability to see light is based on light reaching your eyes. If you can see skylight, sky light is striking the ground around you. The moon doesn't make light either... It is just lit by the sun. Same as you being a me to light a room with a flashlight by shining it at the ceiling. The atmosphere isn't perfectly transparent, just like your home windows. You can see pretty well through them, but if someone shines a bright light through a pane of glass, you can obviously see the illumination of that pane. A laser pointer through your window will be visible on the window (and the wall) because even things that are "pretty good" for transparency of light still scatter a good amount of it. The sun is a giant light. It is passing through a ton of not perfectly transparent atmosphere. The dust, vapor, and the air itself all scatter small amounts of that intense light through the shitloads of atmosphere above your head, and this is what makes the sky glow before the sun comes up. The sky only glows where the sun is striking it. That glow is more than enough to light your way. It is diffuse light.
This is so incredibly simple. I can't understand even a little bit how the sun being the source of daylight would conflict with anything in the Bible. The Bible doesn't attempt to explain how God created daylight, what physical processes he set into motion. He was talking to ignorant dirt farmers giving them a general idea of shit he did. If God made DNA he wasn't going to try to explain all of that shit to a sheep herder.

This idiot psycho is probably referring to how god supposedly made light on the first day but didn't get around to creating the sun until the 4th day. You gotta be insane to follow that kind of retarded shit.

Bible is very explicit. God separated the light from the dark before the sun even existed.
Bible is truth. It's not a fairy tale.
