The First Day, God, And The Sky

The Genesis account of creation is written with beautiful, almost lyrical, scripture. It begins with the first seven days of creation where God created the heavens and the Earth. He split the oceans and the land, as well as created all the many creatures on our planet. The message of the bible very much depends on interpretation, the wording was filled with rhythm. For example, at the end of each sentence in the beginning of chapter one, it has many phrase repeats but they sound lyrical. On day one, “God said” (Gen:1 vs.3) “it was good.” (Gen:1 vs. 4). On day two, “God said” (Gen:1 vs.6) “it was so” (Gen:1 vs. 7). These phrases repeat and overall form a kindly written scripture. In Genesis one, God’s official name is Elohim. He created the heavens and man. And made man rule over the created order of the Earth. Not only as the rulers but also as the care-takers, which hints at telling humans to protect the environment, as it is our job given by God Himself. Further on into Genesis, the story focuses more on Adam and Eve. God created Adam as a whole human being. Adam was split by God and the other equal half became Eve. The author of Genesis wants to stress the equality between man and woman. With Eve, Adam could have his other half to relationship with. The author’s focus on equality between man and woman is one of the biggest take-aways from these accounts of creation. “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh” (Gen 2:23). Marriage allows for man and woman to

In the literal sense, God made the heavens and the earth. Before God spoke, the earth did not exist, it was empty and formless. He said, "Let there be light," and there was light. This is the first day of the creation of the world.

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. The Earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep”. There are many stories that talk about how the Earth are created and they all vary depending on the beliefs of the writers. In these stories there are many similarities but there are also a few differences. A good example of these similarities can be found in a few creation stories such as Genesis, Creation by the Hopi, and The World on the Turtle’s Back by the Iroquois. In these three stories there are differences and similarities found when looking at how the Earth was created, where all the evil and good came about from, and how all of the animals got their names.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. …the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” In the Christian faith the world was created by God in the sequence of seven days. Throughout those days he made light and darkness, water and sky; he made the animals of the water and the animals

In the book When Heaven and Earth Changed Places by Le Ly Hayslip, Le Ly was just one of many peasants trying to survive during war time. Survival meant having to make some hard decisions; decisions that may make peasants go against their roots. However, as we see Le Ly do throughout the book, peasants do not completely abandon their family traditions. Le Ly was very close to her father and kept everything he taught her in mind while she made some difficult choices. "My father taught me to love god, my family, our traditions, and the people we could not see: our ancestors" (ix). With her father's help, she was able to honor her past, provide for her family's needs, and give her son a chance for a better future. If Le Ly was unable to

How did the earth and everything on it come into existence? This is a question, that for the Christian worldview is answered by the Bible, in Chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis. The Bible makes clear to it’s readers that God existed before anything else. The creation account in Genesis 1 splits creation into 6 days and a 7th day of rest. The first day God created the earth and Heaven as well as day and night. The second day God separated the earth from heaven to create the sky. On the third day God separated the waters on earth so there would be dry land. He created plants and trees that could bear fruit and seeds. God made theses plants so that they would be able to keep growing from the seeds that fell from them. On the fourth day God created the

Genesis and “The World on the Turtle’s Back”, two folklore myths, illustrate the contrasting universal archetypes of one supreme being and multiple god figures. Genesis depicts one male supreme being who created the entire universe, while “The World on the Turtle’s Back” shows numerous gods who created different things within the universe. God, from Genesis, created everything that exists; “the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1.1), day and night, and “every living creature that moveth” (Genesis 1:21). God made the Sun and the Moon (Genesis 1:16), and he made “man in his own image” (Genesis 1:27). He made “every herb-bearing seed” (Genesis 1:29), and the rain that waters them (Genesis 2:5). All of life and nature and creation was crafted by God. In contrast,

In the beginning there was nothing, except God. God made everything out of nothing. He made the heavens, earth, and all things. It took him 6 days and on the seventh day he rested.

Judeo Christian beliefs hold that, in the first chapter of Genesis, God created the world in six days, while resting on the seventh. One the first day God created the heavens and the earth, the day and the night, and a dome separating the earth from the sky. On the second day, God created the land and the seas. On the third day, He created the plants that bear seeds and fruit that bears fruit with seeds in it. On the fourth day, He created the sun and the moon and the stars. On the fifth day, God created animals to inhabit the water and birds to fly beneath the dome, blessing them to be fruitful and multiply in the water and under the dome. On the sixth day, God created wild animals and tame animals and crawling things to inhabit the earth. He also created human beings, both male and female, in His image. On the seventh day, he rested.

This narrative, which describes how God created the universe in six days, can be found in the first few paragraphs of the Bible. It is said that on Day One, God created the heavens and the earth and allowed there to be light upon the earth. God then allowed a separation of waters above from the waters below on day Two; this separated the skies and the seas. On the third day, God formed dry land and allowed the earth to sprout vegetation. God then allowed the heavenly lights to appear on the earth on Day Four. On Day Five, God created animals to inhabit the earth. The sixth and final day of creation of the universe saw God creating other animals such as carnivores and humans to inhabit the earth as well (The literal interpretation of the Genesis One Creation account, 2007).

On the first day God creates the foundation on which the rest of the earth and surrounding universe is built. This begins with his command ‘let there be light'. He then goes on to separate the light from the darkness, naming them night and day.

In six days God created the universe, the earth, and every living thing on it. This includes human beings, who were made in Gods own image. God created Adam and Eve to have an unobstructed relationship with him, He placed them in a paradise called the Garden of Eden and gave them freedom to live in friendship and trust with him. God saw that everything he created was good and He rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:2). God left Adam and Eve in the garden with specific instructions: they are NOT to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

The word of God brought everything into being: heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, and every living thing. In the beginning, God called into existence the heaven and earth. Within six days and he shaped a world of order and beauty.

The chapter begins with the existence of Supreme Being, God, who created heaven and earth from rather a formless and void full of darkness; “let there be light; let there be an expanse between the waters……” Genesis 1:3, 6. This reveals the power of a supernatural being that controls the universe; and that absolute power lies with God, the creator of the universe. The creation work is systematically done in six
