Radiated light has very little material to diffuse in when in space, unlike when it hits our atmosphere and diffuses.

you cannot see light that does not interact with your eyes

There is sunlight in space, but you don't see it because it isn't bouncing off an object and being redirected to your eyes.
When you shine a flashlight up into the sky on a clear night, where does the light go?

the sun is so far away that the width of the beams that fall on earth are not wide enough to illuminate anything wider than a few thousand miles at a time, it's almost expecting a flashlight in your room to light up the entire neighbourhood

if there was light in space then you couldn't see the sun because the light would be in the way

There's plenty of light in space. It's black because there's nothing to see there.

There's so much electromagnetic radiation in space that if you're not protected you get sunburned instantly and probably get cancer. And that's if you're within Earth's magnetosphere. If you're outside it, you're basically dead without protection*.
*This also depends how close/far you are from the Sun, being at Uranus you obviously won't get instantly fried, but any closer than Earth's orbit of the Sun and you will.

funny because that's exactly what happens in space and the "dark matter" is just dust. the universe is basically 4000-6000 years old, all of our calculations and observations of distances are wrong because the interstellar medium (dust) obscures so much light making it seem like everything is dimmer and further away by many orders of magnitude. everything is smaller and closer together.

there's light in space. The Earth is just a close object to the sun, this is why it illuminated by it.

Why do you think you can see the moon in the sky OP? Do you think the moon has its own light source?

Because the only things illuminated are Earth and planets, asteroids, since most of everything is infinite nothing it appears black.

Because the Sun is the light of the day. You can see it the same way you can see your light bulb when it's switched on.

Flashlight light doesn't achieve escape velocity so it goes up your mum's butthole

The amount of pure fabrication (fabricated by the Vatican, naturally) that these four words sit on is almost unfathomable.

Light is not constituent matter.
The medium of electromagnetic radiation, or light, are the interacting bodies themselves. Their intrinsic properties, or internal configuration, alter themselves and it looks like a causal interaction from the outside.
There's the sun, the earth, a bunch of other stars and matter, and that's it. Space is not involved in that interaction of the sun emitting light to the earth.
All the rest of the matter makes the easiest thing for the earth to do is light up due to the activity of the sun. If the earth did not light up in the presence of the sun, the earth would need to heat up all observers instead. It can't do that because space time wise all observers are on a much larger reference frame than the sun.

I understand the UV, but where the heck is all of this gamma radiation coming from? Does the sun really produce gamma radiation??

This is as dumb as asking why we don't see light flowing through the air
