The rest is a consequence of that singular
statement - "And there was light” God then refers to
the separation of darkness and light on the first
day, and for this, we can refer to what we know
by physics in that there is no such thing as
darkness but only an absence of light. This first
day is concerned with the creation of light and
only light, and the darkness is only the formless
chaotic void already present without it.
The second law of thermodynamics holds
that the universe tends towards chaos (entropy).
The first day of the Hexameron begins with chaos
and darkness. - Unless there is an outside
intervention, there is no order, and so on the first
day, God speaks bringing order out of chaos. In
addition, the light brings heat and so life.
An easier way to understand this is that
the second law of thermodynamics qualitatively
explains nature's tendency to move towards lower
energy. - Ice cubes do not just form from a glass of
hot water; broken eggs do not spontaneously
regenerate into whole eggs; your office desk is not
going to clean itself and tidy up by itself, and so
an outside intervention is the only way to bring it
