Bible Question (short): Darkness: an Effect or Substance? |
Question (full): God separated light from darkness. Shadows form darkness, but shadows presume light coming from a particular direction and an object to cast a shadow. Was then the light localized (altouhg not in any heavenly body) to cast a shawdow off the earth? Is this the separting that took place? Or is darkess more than the absence of light? In other words is darkness an effect or does it have substance. This is one for the physicists to ponder! (see also Isa 45:7) |
