Actually, that's a valid point. Pretty much all creation myths universally involve a close association between "night" & "nothing," from which all emerges.

It's also image common in general fiction. Kind of hard to forget Ansem/Xehanort/whoever he is with his extremely hammy, "In the end, every[thing] returns to the darkness whence it came!"

Even in the realm of "hard facts," it's common for artists to portray the Big Bang as a shining light that bursts out of an empty darkness. Even though that's probably not how it would have worked, it's difficult to conceptualize it in any other way.
