What's the big deal about "Let there be light" in the Genesis account of Creation? The first verse says, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." When was the "beginning?" For us, nobody has the right answer. To God it could have been trillions of light years ago or just yesterday, considering that God is eternal and that there is no time in eternity. Then, before God proclaimed the famous "Let there be light," darkness was upon the face of the deep. This means that darkness was in the universe. Then, the Genesis account of Creation is metaphorical. The whole thing an allegory, according to the famous Scholar Moses Maimonides in his opus prima, "The Guide for the Perplexed."

I'm going to assume this is a typo and let you correct yourself.
