I don't think the story flows well if we interpret it that light was created, then life, then the sun. Where did the light come from if not the sun?
That much is true. The question is whether the story is just inaccurate.
There is simply no way to parse verse 14 to create the seasons but not the sun and at least the stars. And verse 15 is similar in grammatical construction to verse 14. You are grasping at straws.
Again you have to be able to presume God does exist for you to understand where I am coming from.
You also have to believe that the Bible is astronomically accurate. In fact that is the only requirement. I believe in God, but I don't believe that the Bible is a physics textbook.
