In light of a couple recent blog posts about creationism, I looked specifically to see what Platon said about 'creation'; none of it was particularly unusual, but I thought this comment was interesting.
On the fourth day, the luminaries of heaven were created, the sun, the moon, and the stars, probably from the luminous substance which was created on the first day.
'Luminous substance'... I've never heard of that before per se, but it generally sounded like Platon understood a 24-hour day, 7-day week understanding of Genesis 1-2.
