And you call yourself a near moron?

I know it when I see it.

You implied there is a difference between light from the sun and light from stars. Is that your stance?

Light came before the stars?

Technically, yes it did. Matter and radiation decoupled 379,000 years after the Big Bang before there were any stars. The first stars were formed after about 150 million years. During that time the CMB went from being the Cosmic Ultraviolet Background Radiation to being the Cosmic Infrared Background Radiation having passed through visible light in the meantime. So the first (visible) light must have preceded the formation of the first stars.

RJ is right, but for entirely the wrong reasons.

We were talking about daylight as it says in the bible. God made the earth and then said let there be light... so not only did daylight come before the sun but the earth also came before the sun and any other star.... according to the bible.

It is, of course, mere coincidence that the idiotic Bible was right about light coming before the Sun and stars. If you make up enough randomly or arbitrary made up lies and irrationally based beliefs, it is a near mathematical certainty that at least a few are going to be correct by mere coincidence alone although the majority would still be false.
Of course, the Bible is totally wrong about the Earth coming before the Sun and stars since the heavier elements that make most of the Earth could only physically be made in stars. And, of course, the first light is billions of years old and is not the same light that we see coming directly from the stars in the most distant galaxies we see today. Plus no godditit required to explain the first light as there are rational explanations for it.
