HH: The phrase implies the creation of light. The form is not an
imperative but a jussive. So it is something like: "Let light exist."
The same wording in used in Gen 1:6 about the creation of the sky, and
in 1:14 for the creation of the great lights in the sky, the sun, moon,
and stars.
Please be kind and tell me the technical difference between the imperative
and jussive which mandates the word "exist" as a creative act.
If, as the texts do say, God created darkness and evil,
one could equally infer that both light and good previously existed. But the
text does not address either issue.
You said "if there was no light",
infering that there was not. But if God is Light and He always existed and
He is immutable, then light, likewise, always existed.
