First Thoughts

The bible says some things that don't make sense. On the first day, it says, light was let into the world of nothingness. Then, yada yada yada, it's the fourth day and God now thinks that there should be some things which are the composers of this light. These things are the stars and the sun.
Now I suppose that this first book, chapter, and page might infer that God has this kind of divine, creationist power. So light existed a few days before it was given a power source. They say that the Lord works in mysterious ways, but sometimes His ways are logically irrational. But we, as a majority, let it slide, and, all things considered, still this book has managed to maintain global respect.
This is something that I'm going to have to internally fight, understand, and accept in order to find the underlying morals from this divine text. I suppose that since I do not actively advocate Christianity or accept what I've already learned from the Bible then I should change something about the way I interpret the Bible in order to learn about other things which it gives or shows. I must look at it in a way which will enrich my understanding of writing style, moral grasp, or literary inspiration.
It's hard to let things be irrational since this book carries so much weight, but maybe I'll let it slide, too.
