God's Spirit moved on the face of the wasted and desolate waters. God said, let there be light. And there was light. When God says something, it happens. God saw the light that it was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day and the darkness He called Night. The evening and the morning were the first day of the recreation of the old earth.
God said let there be a separation in the waters and He kept some of the waters on earth and some out in our atmosphere and space or sky around the earth. God called this separation Heaven. This heaven is the sky and space we see above our heads. This was done on the second day.
God said let the waters under the heaven be together in one place and let the dry land appear. And it happened. God called the dry land Earth. The waters he called Seas. God saw that it was good. God said let the earth sprout grass, plants that have seeds, and fruit trees. It happened just as God said, the earth sprouted grass, trees, plants, and fruit trees. And God saw that it was good. This all happened on the third day.
God said let there be lights in space. He spoke the words and the sun, moon, and stars all appeared. He said they will be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years. The sun he made for the day and the moon for night. And God saw that it was good. This all happened on the fourth day.
