Genesis i. 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.
The sun is a metaphorical representation of Soul outside
the body, giving existence and intelligence to the
universe. Love alone can impart the limitless
idea of infinite Mind. Geology has never
explained the earth's formations; it cannot explain them.
There is no Scriptural allusion to solar light until time has
been already divided into evening and morning; and the
allusion to fluids (Genesis i. 2) indicates a supposed formation
of matter by the resolving of fluids into solids,
analogous to the suppositional resolving of thoughts into
material things.
