Thanks for the explanation. I agree with most of your points.
It is just that I think that bringing up days before the sun existed doesn't add much to your other, better arguments. It gives people something to argue against at the expense of addressing your other points. I merely get the wrong impression when I read it as your leadoff comment. Of course, since I think theistic evolution is an even better explanation, my impression is pretty much irrelevant. Perhaps it does carry more weight with YEC's.
