This is the first, yes, FIRST creation account.
The beginning of the Bible, The 'beginning' of the universe, allegedly, and the beginning of my notes. Of course, we all have to start at the beginning. Again, with THIS in mind, what was constituting a day's time duration prior to the fourth day of creation? However, this contradicts the beginning of Genesis where the creation of the 'heaven and the earth' was the 'first day' despite our sun not being created until 'day' four. then you have those who recognize a 'day' as the standard 24-hour period we know it as modernly, in tune with the rotation of the earth. For others, a 'day' is a thousand years, but is to be taken less as a form of measurement and more as a reference to a grand event (The Day of Judgment). For some, Biblical 'days' are only in tune with when sunlight is present, meaning only half of a 24-hour day. I have read/heard somewhere that the interpretation of the word 'day' as measurement for time in the Bible is up for debate. What was determining a full day's duration prior to this?
However, within 1:14, God separates light in the firmament to represent calendar phenomena, such as seasonal change, days, and years. Prior to 1:14, the author made sure to mention that the evenings and mornings were constituting each day of God's creation.
