24 Hour Day & Night / Light & Darkness Divided
Globe Earth-- The globe earth rotates in a 24 hour period.
-- The globe earth blocks the source of light so it has one side that is light (Day) and one side that is dark (Night). -- Because the globe earth rotates, the side that was in darkness will be exposed to the light, and the side that was in the light will rotate into darkness -- creating day and night (a 24 hour day). The globe earth does not need the sun and moon to create a 24 hour period at this time. -- Only the globe earth can have a 24 hour period using this early source of light before the sun and moon appear on day 4.

Flat Earth-- The flat earth does not rotate to create a 24 hour day and night.
-- The flat earth needs a local sun and moon rotating in a 24 hour period under their so-called dome (not yet created) to produce a 24 hour day. However, the sun and moon will not appear until the fourth day of creation. -- Without the sun and moon the flat earth cannot have a 24 hour period. 
-- Flat-earthers claim their dome over the earth contains all the stars and the sun and moon under it. This is their version of space (a snow-globe model of the universe). Yet, this dome has not been created at this time (day one). Later we will see that God replaces this early light source with the sun, moon, and stars. So, that means this early light source is in space on day 1, as the sun, moon, and stars will be. However, how can that happen when the flat earth version of space (their dome) is not created yet?

Day 2 & 3
After day two we read the phrase: "And the evening and the morning were the second day." Genesis 1:8 KJV
After day three we read the phrase: "And the evening and the morning were the third day." Genesis 1:13 KJV
We can see by the creation account that we have an evening (night) and morning (day) for three days in a row without a sun. The flat earth cannot divide a day and night, so with this early light source, the flat earth would only have 24 hours of day (light) for three days. No nights. However, the globe earth can divide night and day and would have both evening (night) and morning (day) for three days without the sun just as the Bible describes.

Day 4 (The Sun & Moon Appear)
" And God saith, 'Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years, and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth:' and it is so. And God maketh the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary -- and the stars -- for the rule of the night; and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth, and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth that it is good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day fourth."
Genesis 1:14-19 YLT
Summary
1. This early source of light was in space before the flat earth version of space existed (Their dome). Remember, Genesis 1:1 says God created both the heavens and the earth and this light source was in the heavens-- FLAT EARTH DEBUNKED!
2. If this early source of light from day 1 shone on the surface of a flat earth it would have produced 24 hours of light because a flat earth model has no way to divide night and day (it does not block light or rotate). A flat earth cannot have an evening (night) and a morning (day) without its version of a local, rotating sun, which will not appear until the 4th day. Yet, the Bible says God divided night and day (A 24-hour day) on day one. --- FLAT EARTH DEBUNKED!!
3. According to the Genesis account, three days passed with a day and night cycle (24-hours), before the sun appeared. This would be impossible on the flat earth. --- FLAT EARTH DEBUNKED!!

Conclusion
Clearly, a flat earth model does not fit the Genesis creation account. Therefore, the Bible debunks the flat earth. Only a spinning globe properly fits the account of creation in Genesis chapter one, which we can conclude that the Bible affirms the globe earth. --- THE FLAT EARTH IS DEBUNKED!!
