Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters” (bible). Pretty much talks about how earth was empty with darkness over the surface of the earth then he gave it water. Then he said let there be light and saw the darkness go away from the light he separated it so there would be lighter than darkness This was all in the first day of genesis one. Then the second day bible states that “Let therebe a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” So, God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day” (bible). On the third day he made vegetation, the fourth he did the sky darkness and the light, fifth day the creatures in the water, then the sixth day was the creation of life. The final day of genesis he saw it as all good. Then Genesis two was Adam and eve god’s creation they to protect the garden of Eden.
