The Genesis account of the Fourth Day of Crea­tion is very difficult to fit into the usual ideas of the evolution of the universe, because the Scriptures and the Holy Fathers state quite cer­tainly that the sun was created on that Day, after the earth and the plants and the trees were already there. Furthermore, the Fathers say that the sun, the moon and the stars (and all the black holes and what­ever is out there) were all created on the Fourth Day in one instant. God waved His hand and the whole thing came into being, trillions of miles away. Of course, God is bigger than the universe, so why wouldn't He be able to do that? He has no problem.

…Nowadays atheist philosophers like to say that the relative size of the earth proves man is but a speck lost in the universe. They say, "The earth is so small, the universe is so big-so obviously the universe is more important than man, and God did not make everything for man." But if you think in terms of what the Fathers say—that the sun was made after the earth had already been there—then it is clear that everything was made for man.
