And why do they assume the sun must exist for there to be light?

Let's explain this in RaptureReady terms.
At sleepytime, when the sun goes bye-bye, it gets dark.
According to Genesis, God created light before he created our sun. So he's thinking biblically.
Well, "thinking" may be the wrong term ...
Hint: When you have to maim reality to this level to keep believing in your religion...
...the religion should be dropped.
Is he saying that the sun doesn't exist? Or that light can exist without stars?
He's probably trying to defend how the Genesis account talks about how God created the light from the Sun before the Sun.
In other words, he's disregarding established fact that not even most fundies question in order to defend a contradiction so obvious that even a five-year old should cry foul. This contradiction is found in a ludicrous myth not even intended to be taken seriously by the Jews who first fielded it.
In other words, it's business as usual over at Rapture Ready:).
But he's right!
Look here, Journeyer. There's light shining out of my ass.

What happens when the earth revolves away from the sun, Rinji? You get night on that side of the world. Now take away the sun entirely. All earth will be in darkness.
Damn fool... homeskooling at it's finest.
Why? Because it's the only source of light in our solar system. If you stumble across another multi-million ton mass of hydrogen undergoing fusion, please let someone know. Hell, you might even get a Nobel Prize out of that.
"And why do they assume the sun must exist for there to be light?"
You know, you're right! God could have just created light bulbs and plugged them into his ass.
This "light", in the context given, is simply a metaphor for awareness or something.
The Gnostic literature uses it quite a bit.
Yeah, answer that one, you damned atheists!
After all, his god had a flashlight or one of those led lights you strap to your forehead.

God created awareness before any creature was around to be aware? So he just make himself aware? And what's 'or something' supposed to mean in this context?
Not just the sun, but some sort of star. Mostly because those are the most efficient natural producers of light that we can readily see in the universe, so, without them, well...where the light be coming from? You do know how night and day work, right?
Y'know, ancient cultures worshipped the sun (and Moon) because they knew it gave them light.
You're a idiot for all ages
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
