Did God Create Darkness?

Is Darkness something abstract?
The Bible states in Genesis that the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the waters. "Let there be Light," and there was light...
Well... so that means there first was darkness? There can't be a form beyond darkness... at least not to what my imagination can think of. If one uses logic... With no light, there would be darkness and with no darkness, there would be light... This means that one will defintely exist without the other. Then futher on... God saw the light was good.
He named the light day and the darkness night... Well... I mean... infer. Light was good... methaphourical? He named the darkness.... yet... Oh well... don't want to go too deep into this...
I trust you God, just a mind which is too inferior to understand such a deed going into wonder...how can I try to think what my creator thinks? Your thoughts are much much more superior than mine... Anyway... I thought of this on a bus ride and decided to blog about this. Something is pulling me back from saying more though...
Oh wells... Good night world...

## Update_
I chatted with a few friends about this and I realise this concept... (No light = Darkness) is actually a core concept in Taoism. Or at least something to that extent. Whoa.
Its about a balance and stuff. That stuff has to happen naturally. And that its all in a cycle. etc. etc. An Ying and a Yang... without lesser of something, more of another will dominate. (Applys to the light and darkness) Science Speak = Like energy, cannot be destroyed, only transfered.
Yeapps. The above oversees the fact of reason, logic and pattern. The usual, typical, finte-like human.
Moses asked, "Who are you?"
God said, "I am who I am"

And what can be truer than that? God is an infinte being! He is not limited by a space. Not bounded by any ignorances. And never trapped in the trap of time. This trap that we may never escape. I am who I am... as in God never was. God never will be. I.e. I was a boy, I am a teen, I will be a man. (Yeah lame, but for concept sake.) God will always be God. He is not in a journey of some sort like us. He never came from somewhere and will be going to somewhere. He is everywhere. The begining, the end... blah.

So my question does seem stupid doesn't it?
Like the many questions of a human.
And they say Christians are narrow-minded? Sigh...
