3 Then God said, "Let there be light "; and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good ; and God separated the light from the darkness.

This is interesting to me that God saw that the light was good ; and God separated the light from the darkness.

God doesn't say anything about the darkness. He says the the light is good. Then he separates the 2. Why is this. Obviously the light is always good. Does this have a deeper meaning???

Light could also have been seen as good because it would later reveal the glory of what He created in the following verses.
 
John 1:4-5 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Light/dark can represent good/evil, life/death, knowing God and not knowing God. All these things are opposite things, you can't have a bit of both. There will come a day when the sheep are separated from the goats.

II Cor 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
