One Bible Commentary on Genesis 1: 14
1

“On the fourth day the luminaries were made; because God, who possesses foreknowledge, knew the follies of the vain philosophers, that they were going to say, that the things which grow on the earth are produced from the heavenly bodies, so as to exclude God. In order, therefore, that the truth might be obvious, the plants and seeds were produced prior to the heavenly bodies, for what is posterior cannot produce that which is prior.” (Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. II, Theophilus to Autolycus, Book II, Chapter XV.-Of the Fourth Day)
