Were you there to witness the beginning of creation? If not, then you can't say whether something is or isn't correct. It says "skies" - it doesn't specifically the "Sun". Regarding the latter point on the moon, the absence of evidence does not mean evidence of absence.

My apologies for missing this.

Direct observation isn't the only way to test a claim. The example the other poster brought up of the discovery of Neptune is actually a great one. We observed its effects before we observed the planet itself. Black holes are another great example, Einstein predicted them nearly 50 years before we were able to observe their effects and it was another 50 years before we could directly observe them.

The skies would have been here before the Earth, regardless of whether you include the sun. We have directly observed stars over twice as old as Earth.

For the prophet cracking the moon, you can't seriously tell me that no one else across the world would have recorded such an event. Tons of cultures across the world have worshipped the moon in many forms. We all see the same moon.
