And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven

The word is "said" not made. Also, He said "in the firmament".

If you want to talk about what God "created" you have to go back to verse one when God Created the Heavens and the Earth. 

Yeah, the cool thing about being God is that all He needs to do is say.  He speaks, and things happen.  If He says let there be light, there will be light.

Universe ... Uni = "one" and verse = "sentence"

Genesis 1:1 is a summary statement about the creation, which is the detailed in the rest of the chapter.  Likewise Genesis 2:1 begins by saying the creation was completed, and then delves deeper into the creation of man on day six.

This is the exact and precise meaning.  Thank you.

Everything was there in the beginning. NOTHING has been added. Genesis one is just a discussion of the changes that took place over time. Science follows the Bible. They both talk about the same thing. ONLY science look at the actual evidence in Creation that God gives us to study so we can see what He has done.

Science cannot account for anything supernatural.  The creation was supernatural.

This is why we have quantum physics to understand what goes beyond physics. Although the theory of relativity explains more than people think it does.

Some people want to reject what is proven to be true for what is little more than speculation.

Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Perhaps you are using a different Bible.

What has proven to be true is God's word.

Brother [or sister], we don't need artificial intelligence to explain what theistic evolution is.  I'm not understanding what you are saying here.

Just like dictionaries, tools, and soap, AI can be a valuable resource to make tasks easier and more efficient. It’s not about necessity, but about enhancing our capabilities and making the most of the resources available to us. AI is here to support and augment human efforts, not replace them. It’s all about using the right tools for the right job to achieve the best results.

Yet there is a massive amount of disputes over the translation and interpretation of the Bible.
