The Story of Creation

Once upon a time, there was a dark, formless Earth. This Earth was empty, except for a spirit hovering over it. God was dwelling there though. God made the Earth His. First, He made the day and night. Then, God created the sea, the sky, and the land. God thought “someday, I may have living creatures and humans on this Earth.” To prepare the Earth for his creations, he produced vegetation that would be eaten. God gave his world light. He put the sun in the sky for the day and the moon and stars in the sky for the night. With this light, we would be able to see. After the world was sustainable to live in, God made sea creatures first to rule the sea. The next day, God saw that the land needed someone to watch and rule over it. He made the animals the rulers over the land. God brought to life humans, and they were to rule over everything. God gave everything the command to be fruitful and multiply and to scatter and fill the earth. God saw that everything was good. This was the creation of the World.
