According to Genesis, God created the lights in the heaven - the sun, moon, stars and planets - on the fourth day, and placed them in the firmament above the earth.
However, scientists say that the sun and stars existed long before the earth did. They now know that the earth is just one of the planets that circle the sun, and that these planets were almost certainly formed at the same time.
