How fast do you perceive the light going into your eyes?
To me its there faster that a second even faster than a millisecond. So therefore the light was made first and was just there everywhere. And God made things to separate the light from the darkness. When you close your eyes the light is stopped just as fast and you perceive darkness again. So what do you think about when God said let there be light first in the beginning?
The same goes when you turn on a light bulb. If your eyes are open in the pitch blackness and the light is turned on how fast do you perceive the light going into your eyes? The light just there everywhere less than a millisecond.
I meant to add when you open and close your eyes.
I want to say that when I open my eyes it is as if the light is everywhere at the same time instantly. And the same goes when my eyes are opened in a dark room and I turn on the light. Its like the light appears to be everywhere at the same time instantly.

Photons move at about 186,282 miles per second, so even if you are quite a ways from the source of light - for all means and purposes it is instantaneous.
On the other hand, it takes light 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel the almost 93 million miles from the sun to the Earth.
It takes 4.2 years for light to cross the nearly 25 trillion miles from the nearest star (Proxima Centauri) to Earth.
We can see the light from stars that are so far away that the stars themselves died out a long time ago.
As this light emitted by distant galaxies passes by massive objects in the universe, the gravitational pull from these objects can distort or bend the light. (referred to as 'gravitational lensing').
Ancient fairy tales about 'gods' making light are just dull AF compared to reality.
