A basic reading of genesis 1:1
kjv Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
I agree likely all of the other bible versions say heavens however find it interesting the akjv used the singular.
A basic reading puts the universe before genesis 1:1 and the stars were not made on day 4 "he made" is italized meaning words added by the translators.
A basic reading of genesis with the spirit moved upon the waters means the Word is saying the earth existing prior to genesis 1:1 but without an atmosphere or dry land (the earth). It says it was void formless with water upon the face of the deep.
When he said let there be light the sun became a star in that it was about creating the firmament he called heaven and the dry land he called the earth and the waters mentioned in genesis 1:2 were gathered into one place and called seas.
On day 4 he made the sun to rule the day and the moon and the stars to rule the night. It does not mean he made them on day 4 only made them to rule the day and the night.
A basic reading says he placed them in the firmament of the heaven. Its interesting it did not say heavens it saying he placed them in the firmament of heaven. This means hes talking about the planet earth's heaven not the heavens, etc...
Nothing wrong with the sun only being a star approximately 12,000 years the nucleur evidences actual does not prove its not young according to the answers from genesis folk, but
interestingly a basic reading of genesis 1:2 supports it was not a star until genesis 1:3.
Peter 3:8 asks you not to be ignorant to God one days as a thousand years so if you just use that as a basic understanding of Gods creation week you have the fossils no older than 10,000 years given the trees were created in the 3rd day.
Then you hear the commercial labs are getting 14C readings in layers that were not suppose to be young being fudged by the commercial labs.
In light of such fraud you begin to appreciate the inerrancy of the written Word, etc....
Enjoy !!!!!!!!

kjv Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
kjv Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
kjv Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
kjv 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
