A "Chicken or the Egg" Question

     Which came first: light or darkness? The question is a philosophical question.

      Did darkness exist before One said, "Let there be light?" In order for there to be light, wouldn't there have to be something before? What existed before?

     Or with light, did existence begin? Did the invention of light become a dividing word to distinguish two parts of a mottled whole? Where the whole come from?

     Light is a metaphor. We also know light to be both a particle and a wave, affecting the lots of other particles it bounces off. Light makes work, or is work, and creates more work; light is a catalyst for change.

    Then what is darkness? The definition of darkness is an absence of light.

    That's right - an absence.

    Darkness is a negation. We define it by the absence of something. It is nothing. Darkness does not exist.

     We have our answer: Light is something, Darkness is nothing. Light had to come first because it is the only thing that exists. Darkness is nothing at all, so it never arrived. Therefore, neither came first because only one exists: Light is and Darkness is not.
