There seems to be a problem with the creation story in that the sun and moon to distinguish between night and day were not created until the fourth day, which seems like a contradiction. One explanation could be that the sky was opaque up to this point due to ‘the waters above’, but now cleared to reveal the lights to govern the night and day (note that the day used to be said to begin at sunset, hence the phrase ‘evening and morning’).
