INFINITE, most of the verses you quoted are from the point-of-view of someone on earth, which is precisley what Day 4 of the Genesis Creation Account was discussing. The sun, moon, and stars were already around in Day 2 of Creation, but with flora producing oxgyen from Day 3 onwards it took about 3 billion years for the atmosphere to clear up, allowing the sun, moon and stars to appear from the vantage point of someone on earth. The word
create does not appear in Day 4 of the Genesis Creation Account because Yahuweh was teaching us a profound lesson, that Yahushua (the Greater Light, the source of light) would appear in the 4th Millennium of man's history since the fall, even Isaiah named Satan (the Lesser Light, the moon, in other words the fake light)
Halal ben Schacher (commonly called Lucifer) in Isaiah 14:12, which occured within the 4th Millennium as well, not forgetting the appearence of the all the prophets during the period of 3000-2000 BCE. And this just touching on the surface of the depths to which the Genesis Creation Account go to.
INFINITE, here are two very good weblinks to study:

None of those verses are scientific analogies of how the sun works. I dont say "Oww look the earth has rotated enough for our star to be casting light on our side of the earth this morning..." I would say "ow its sunrise!" and possibly "why am I awake?!"
90% of those verses are just about the passing of time, or helping paint a picture like that. Its just a load of verses out of context.
Also you end quote of Genesis 1:14-19 shows your lack of study, and i suggest you read Yada Yahweh to get you going lol.
Its a shame this is such a straw man, I thought it was going to be an interesting topic...
I suggest you start here and read atleast the first 5 chapters before continuing this discussion:
http://yadayahweh.com/Yada_Yahweh_Genesis.YHWHUnless you are trying to get a rise out of us, in which case you have come to the wrong place :)
I agree with Rob.
PS: I did a google search on the 67 phrases section and in brought up another website, most notably a website called fixedearth.com, they seem to argue for Scripture, but I think their studies do more harm than good because of their interpretations.
INFINITE, please read Yada Yahweh, especially the Genesis section, maybe you want to read Gerald Schroeder's book
The Science Of God as well.
