<DIV>I don't believe in literal 24-hour days for the first six days either, but
I must point out that what you say is lav davka. It's possible that until
Day 4 the atmosphere was so thick and soupy that the sun and the moon were
completely obscured, and they only became visible on the fourth day (or /would/
have been visible if there had been anyone there to see them) when the
atmosphere cleared enough to let the sun shine down onto the surface of the
planet. Rashi says the sun and the moon and everything else were created
on the first day and only put in place on their respective days of
creation. The sun being put in the sky on Day 4 could theoretically
mean it only became visible in the sky on that day.</DIV></FONT></DIV>
