I'm sorry to say, but in attempting to prove that Genesis doesn't contradict science you're only creating more contradictions. Day and night would have no meaning without anything to define them (i.e. the Earth and the Sun).

Therefore the planets and the stars were created before day and night. It also defies the Big Bang theory.

Well by that definition, there would indeed be "days". And by that definition, these "days" had nothing to do with the sun, and so can't be assumed to be the 24 hour periods that WE call days.
Time has nothing to do with light. Time is define by Earth's rotation and Earth's orbit around the Sun. Imagine that the Sun did not produce light. Would there still be time? Yes.
