See, that's where I would argue with a creationist. Just saying "god created the sun" is fine if that's what somebody wants to believe, but presumably we are interested in how it works, whether it can be replicated, etc., so it's important to understand the mechanisms. That's why I think there are many scientists who are religious but still practice science the "normal" way. They realize that the ultimate purpose is different.
