[Brother Tim]

Chette, in reference to verse 31 and the "missing" phrase from the second day:

"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good."

We cannot, with the statement of the above verse, then go backward and say that God did not speak of the firmament as being good for it is His creation.

Darkness is simply the absence of light. It is not created.

We need to be extremely careful not to base an interpretation on what God did not say.
