The word "made" in Genesis 1:16 is the Hebrew word "asah" (Strong's #6213---
appoint, ordain, institute). The same Hebrew word "asah" is translated "appointed" in Psalms 104:19 where we read "He APPOINTED the moon for seasons" (feasts or holy days). Genesis 1:16 should be translated "God APPOINTED,ORDAINED or INSTITUTED---
the greater light (sun) to rule the day & the lesser light (moon) to rule the night." The sun & moon & Earth existed long before this but this is where God appointed them to DO something---ordained them to DO something.
This is where they were appointed to divide the day from the night (verse 14), & show 
signs that mark days & years & seasons (feasts or holy days). This is where God created the calendar by appointing the sun (greater light) to mark the divisions of motion into days & years & the moon (lesser light) to mark months. The laws of physics define time as quantified motion. Time has a beginning & end & events that divide or quantify it. There is motion throughout the universe but not quantified motion. Einstein's theory of relativity (E=mc2---energy equals mass times the speed of light velosity squared) is not constant but is relative. The speed of light is the ultimate velocity (motion) in our universe & is constant only in a vacum like space but light velocity is slowed down relative to electromagnetic fields & gravity. So, in one sense, motion throughout the universe is an illusion of time but not time relative to the quantified or divisions of motion unique only to our sun & our moon & our planet Earth. A calendar is quantified time & this fourth day is when God created a calendar by appointing the sun to mark the division of days & years  & the moon mark the months.

This changes the story of at least explains a little more. Establish a calendar is not the same as time itself beginning on the fourth day. Did I understand that wrong to begin with?

By the way there's a possibility that the speed of light is not the ultimate velocity in the universe

Thank you Donna for clarification of what you meant in your original post.

 

When you said, "time was created on the 4th day," what you meant was something like "time keeping as it relates to the age of man" or "quantified time," or time as it relates to objects in motion in our solar system or some such distinction if I understand your post.   

 

Semantics demand that one uses qualifiers to distinguish between general terms like time and applied usage so as not to distract from the idea.  But, perhaps you wanted to open up the topic of time in an indirect manner?  I found your communications interesting as probably do others so that is not a criticism of your posts, just an observation of techniques for more concise discussion.  Thanks again.  Mary
