Episode notes
Sun Created After Plants
- The sun was created on the fourth day after plants to show God, not the sun, is the source of light.
- This emphasizes Earth as the theological center of the universe, not the sun.
Celestial Bodies' Theophanic Roles
- The sun, moon, and stars serve mystical and apocalyptic roles, appearing in biblical theophanies.
- They reveal God's presence and signal end times events like the sun darkening at the crucifixion.
Instantaneous Creation of Kinds
- Creation was instantaneous; all creatures were created "according to their kinds" with distinct, immutable natures.
- This preserves the orderliness and stability of creation as affirmed by the Holy Fathers.
