"And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness." (Gen 1:3) Did you notice that the first thing God did before creating any life on earth was to divide "or separate" the light from the darkness. In the Bible, light is usually used as an allegory for something good or simply the good; while darkness is usually an allegory for something evil or simply the bad! It is a common problem in our society to see people struggling to live a fulfilled life - this problem can always be traced to an attempt to mix up light and darkness in one person. But this scripture is a proof that such formular will not work. The first secret to live a successful life is by understanding the theory of the Mutual Exclusivity of Light and Darkness; the principle of divide and conquer!.
Life exists in binary form - good or evil, black or white, up or down, right or wrong, light or darkness. After God called forth the light and it appeared, something else happened. God saw that the light was good. Notice that after God created anything, He would go through it to know if it is good or not. I would have assumed that since He was God He didn't need to cross-exam anything He made. Everything should be perfect! Yes, even though everything was perfect, God still needed to check through it and be satisfied with it. And the light was not an exception! That is a valuable lesson for us
Then after God was satisfied with the light, He realised that for life to exist on earth, light has to be separated from darkness. When light and darkness co-exist it is impossible for life to thrive. We cannot exist, we cannot function at our best; we cannot enjoy the fullness of our life if we fail to divide the light from the darkness.
Light stands for what is good and darkness stands for what is evil. If we let evil and good co-exist in our life and mind, we will fall short of God's glory. Simply put: life cannot exist where light is not separated from darkness. That is a theory I found from the scripture. That is what I call the Theory of Mutual exclusivity of Light and Darkness.
This theory states that for life to exist, light and darkness must be mutually exclusive i.e light must not exist in the same spatial location at the same time
