Creation

Based on Genesis 1-2

In the beginning there was God. He spoke and when he did, he created the whole world and everything in it. God made light and water. He made the dry ground and all kinds of plants and trees. God made the sun, the moon, and the stars. He made all kinds of fish, birds, and animals. And then, God created people…He patterened them after himself…

…God formed a man’s body from the soil of the ground and breathed into him and he began to live. Then God placed the man in a garden of fruit trees. And God planted all kinds of trees in the garden. They were beautiful trees that produced delicious fruit. At the center of the garden he placed two trees-the tree which gave life and the tree which gave the understanding of good and evil.

But God told the man, Adam, “You may eat any fruit in the garden except fruit from the tree which gives the understanding of good and evil. If you eat this tree’s fruit, you will die.”

And God said, “Man shouldn’t be alone…” So God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. He took one of Adam’s ribs and made a woman from the rib and brought her to Adam. “At last!” Adam exclaimed. “She has flesh and bones like me!” Adam and his wife, Eve, were naked, but neither of them was ashamed.

God blessed them and told them, “Multiply and be masters over the fish and birds and all the animals.” Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was excellent in every way. God had created the world and everything in it in six days.

The next day, the seventh day, God stopped working. God set apart one day of the week for himself because he had finished creating the world.
