Abstract

Light is defined as the form of radiant energy that stimulates the organs of sight, having for normal human vision wavelengths ranging from about 3900 to 7700 angstroms and traveling at a speed of about 300,000 km per second. Shadow, on the other hand, is a dark shape on the ground or a wall caused by an object (or person, etc.) blocking the light. The shadow looks like the object and moves like it, but is not the object itself. According to Genesis chapter 1, God formed the light as been said: And God said, “Let there be light, and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness he called night†. As seen, light and darkness are mentioned in Genesis, whereas shadow is not mentioned. This may be explained as follows. According to the definition of shadow, some object is required in order to block the light. However, this has not been created on the first day but only later.
