An overview of "day 1" reveals the establishment of the "24-hour day" [one rotation of the earth from sunset to sunset]... distinguishable by the separation of "day" and "night."
"...God called the LIGHT Day, and the DARKNESS He called Night..." (Gen.1:5)
The "light" God created was the first "daylight" portion of the perpetual 24-hour day.
This established "time"... and the Divinely inspired "seven-day week"... the repeated seventh day of which God set aside for man to "remember creation," that could never have been remembered until the first day was made.
"...And the evening [darikness] and the morning [light] were the FIRST [24-hour] DAY." (same verse)
What else can I help you with?
When god created light did he divide day from night?
In the biblical creation narrative found in Genesis, when God created light, He did separate it from darkness, designating light as "day" and darkness as "night." This act established the cycle of day and night as part of the created order. The division signifies not only the physical separation of light and darkness but also symbolizes the distinction between good and evil in various theological interpretations.
The 6 day creation story?
The story has different interpretations depending on which bible is being used as well as who is doing the interpreting. The first five days of creation are much the same in most bibles. It has always been my understanding that there were 7 days of creation. It's on the 6th day when the story seems to take a bit of a twist. God says '..let us make man in our image..'. For some scholars, it is believed and taught that God is simply 'stating'' that He is going to be creating man in His image but did not actually do it on the 6th day. On the 7th day God rested. So now we have 5 consecutive days of creation, and two days when God did not work, the 6th and the 7th.. Immediately following God's day off, the story says that God prepared a garden and begins the forming of Adam. Clearly, it is another day and God is back at work again. Although it is actually the 8th consecutive day, it is widely accepted as being the 6th day of creation. This particular interpretation seems somewhat incomplete. The story of creation as I have known it, was that God did in fact create ' mankind ' on the 6th day, that is to say He populated the entire earth with people of all races. It also seems to make the timeline more accurate. Six consecutive days of creation, the 7th day of rest and the creation of Adam and Eve on the following day. This seems more sensible of an interpretation. A point of interest happened while Caine was argueing with God saying that he had no place to go and that "..they will surely kill me.." Who are " ..they?". Certainly, there were other people on the earth before Adam and Eve.
What is the evidence for a literal 6 day creation?
The evidence for a literal 6-day creation comes primarily from a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation account in the Bible. Some proponents argue that the Hebrew word "yom" (day) in Genesis refers to a literal 24-hour day. Additionally, the genealogies in the Bible are sometimes used to calculate the age of the Earth as around 6,000-10,000 years old.
How was there light on the first day of God's creation when the sun and moon were created on the fourth day?
God made physical light energy to exist before there were any actual 'light givers' such as the sun, moon, (reflected of course) stars, etc. This is seen by some to emphasize the fact that light energy is more fundamental than the existence of any 'light giver'. It would thus make no difference to God whether He created waves of light energy or actual physical bodies that emitted light. This of course He did later as noted in the question. Some have also pointed out that God Himself is referred to as 'light' and the book of Revelation notes that God Himself is to be the source of light at the end of time when the world and universe as we currently know them cease to exist. This seen in one sense as re-creation, or return to an original condition of perfection, so it may give us a clue as to what happened originally.

According to the creation epic how did the present order of the universe come into being?
That really depends on which creation epic you are referring to. There are many. In the Babylonian story, Marduk defeated Tiamat and created the world using her carcass. Judaism and Christianity have a different story. According to the standard Christian Bible, this is how the present order of the universe came into being. Our world and the heavens we can see were created in three days of the original six days of creation. On the first day, light was created and day and night came into being. On the second day, our skies were created. After the third day's creation of seas, land, and vegetation, came the fourth day's creation of the sun, stars, and moon, to help us mark time. Sea creatures and birds were created on the fifth day and on the six day, land animals and man were created. At the end of the sixth day is the comment that this was how the heavens and earth were created.
