When G-d created light, suddenly there became room for an idea of absence of that light - and that's darkness. Your question isn't about "taking away light" but about "de-creating light" which is something that is too big for to fathom, at least. | |

| May 12, 2016 at 17:21 | comment | added | DanF | Hmmm ... Interesting question. But the 2nd verse in the Torah seems to indicate that darkness was already there, so G-d created just light and then separated the two. I'd have to research what exactly this means, as from what I recall, the "light" meant there is not visible light. That was not possible until the sun, moon and stars were created. | |
