It is absolute truth that the Son of God was Begotten and not Made???Begotten from His Father as Light from Light, Spirit from Spirit???He is not a mere creature of nor a creation by God outside of God???. as the 1st Adam was.
God brought forth His Son as His Wisdom and Power ???In the Beginning??? or During Eternity???before anything of this Universe of God???s creation existed???
Whether the Son of God, as Light from Light is this Light that began to shine upon the Creation on the 1st day at God???s command I am not certain???
You have said that it must be some surrogate pre-sun creation that functioned as a temporary light???
I say???it could have been. And would then wonder what became of this Light on and after the 4th day when the Earth???s sun was created and took this Light???s purpose away???
You said:
But if you look close it does say that God formed the Man and the Animals from the Earth and that He caused the Plant life to grow up out of the Earth???and lets not forget that God "built" the Woman from one of the Man???s ribs while he was under Devine sedation during the time of his surgury???and lets not forget that every animal that God formed from the ground He brought them all, each one to Adam so that Adam could name them all...oh, and God also planted a Garden for Adam to tend and dwell in...All these things happened instantaneously during one 24-hour day?
Or do you say that the Garden was not planted and the Animals were not brought to Adam to name, nor was Eve formed from Adams rib until after the 6 days were completed and the 7th day of God's rest was over...
You also said:
So does that statement mean that we are in agreement that the Scripture declares that God created the Heaven and the Earth before the 1st day began and that it was during those subsequent ???events in time??? -the six days, which came ???after the Heaven and Earth were already created??? when God furnished the Heavens and the Earth?
Or did you mis-speak?
