Do you have any idea that planets are created only after a sun forms?

My friend, if this is still all you have, I'm still not impressed. Could it be possible that scientists don't even take notice of a galaxy until a bright star gets their attention? And if what you say is true, is it not possible that the earth could have been hid from the sun behind a massive body in space, or that space could have been filled with so much debris that the sun's rays could not reach the earth? All I know is that at some point God said let there be light, and at that time light appeared on the earth in a continual day and night manner. I didn't say that the sun had not already been created. I only said that the sun, moon and stars did not light up the earth’s sky in the beginning, and that in the beginning the earth was dark. How can you be so omnipotent to say that no planet could exist for a time without a star in its heavens being a source of light to it? Since you know so much, then what is it that makes a star appear out of nowhere? I have no problem with the earth being dark and empty in the beginning like you might. Besides, I’m not trying to give you exactly every detail that happened, because God’s word only gives a brief and very generalized overview of how the universe, earth, and life, came into existence. All I’m saying is that there can be no conclusion drawn concerning how old the earth is from the record given in Genesis.
If you want to spend your life believing in random happenings that result in wondrously complicated endings that would by all probabilities be impossible, then that is up to you. Again it comes down to what you want to believe in. You can state your life on the word of scientists if you want, but I state my eternal soul on the word of God.
Have you ever wondered why accidental evolution steered everything in a forward progression from a miraculous transformation of raw materials to life, on to extremely complicated forms of life, without regressing backward and dieing out again? How could any life accidentally come into existence in the first place, much less survive? Could the chaotic environment that once existed have so many odds in its favor that we who were once only raw materials, have become so complex that we can’t begin to comprehend all the complexities of which we are made? What ever happened to Murphy’s Law? Have you ever wondered why an accidental bang in the sky, and the random chaotic chance of evolution can accidentally produce life, and accidentally progress through all the wondrously complicated and various stages of life, but not be able to accidentally bring us to the point that we get past dieing? How is it that the accidents that so miraculously got us to where we are, all of a sudden fizzled out in the end? Why is it that not even one person has evolved to live forever, or even past 200 years? Wouldn’t it seem unlikely that evolution could get us so far, but would not have worked this little minor thing out yet? You continue to believe what you want, but don’t expect me to have the faith it takes to accept your theory of accidental elusion.
