I think that many are still in that "dark" you mention. Of course our modern views indicate that was no light at all until 379,000 years after the Big Bang, when the cosmos cooled to the point that nuclei could capture electrons.
And yet the world is only 6,000 years old according to the those who take the Bible literally. LOL.
I am the furthest thing from an expert on the Bible but it seems to me that it essentially begins with the origins of the Hebrews....about 6,000 years ago. As for "Light" and "Dark" those could easily be metaphors...aka good/evil, etc.
