According to the Mormon Doctrine, when God said, "let there be light," was He talking about the Light of Christ?

Regardless of what I believe, since you asked for arguments against:
In Abraham 4, which talks about the spritual creation and which mirrors Genesis 1, the Gods (that is, God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, and us) plan the creation of the Earth. The intelligences are already formed, the council in heaven has taken place. What the spiritual creation is presented here as is planning of the physical creation, although there seems to be the element of creating/organizing the spirits of plants/animals etc. as well, which leads you to your conclusion.
Depending on whether you see the council in heaven as part of the spiritual creation or not, one could argue that at that point the Light of Christ must already have been there, since Christ was there.
