Hello Capt. Kirk,

I just have to say something here. Like you folks, I have always heard that
Moses wrote Genesis, but if Moses did so, how come he wrote two great light
instead calling them by name, the sun and moon. Moses knew their names but
apparently the writer didn't know. It must have been written by Adam prior
to
given them their names. Genesis 15:12 is the first time "sun" is used, and
in
connection with Abram. Why then?
I'm hoping Capt. Kirk can tell me(<:~
