In the Bible’s Old Testament’s book of Genesis, it describes and talks about how God formed what one calls Heaven and Earth. Before God made everything into how it is now, there was darkness upon the face of the “deep”. The deep, water or tahom as the Babylonians call it, is a Babylonian creation myth. The most-high, God, “Let there be light.” Which basically means that he created the light in the world, he created everything good in the world.
In the 4th verse it says, “God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.” He made a time called the Day when there was light and a time called the Night when there was darkness. This then became the first day. After the first day, he then made the firmament, space, where the stars and the planets were created and where they are now held. And he called it Heaven. This then became the second day.
After the second day, God said, “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.” He wanted the dry land to appear after the waters gathered together into one place. He called the dry land Earth and the waters gathered together Seas. After he made the lands appear, he said let there be grass, herbs, and fruit trees. So, the grass, herbs, and fruit trees were brought forth from the earth. This then became the third day. After the third day, he created light in heaven which divided the day from the night. “The greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night.” This means that God created the sun for the day and the moon for the night and set them up in heaven. This then became the fourth day.

After the fourth day, God started to create moving creatures, animals, in the waters and the sky. He first created whales, and then other living creatures in the waters, he created winged fowls after. He wanted them to multiply to fill the seas and the earth. This then became the fifth day. After the fifth day, he then created more animals on the dry lands. He formed cattle and other “creeping things” that would roam the earth. God then said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
What this means is that he then finally created man, male and female. He wanted “man” to have control over every living thing that he created. He wanted them to be fertile and multiply to make the earth full again and have control over it and everything living on it. “And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” God saw everything that he had done and was proud of it. He thought good of it and he thought highly of it. He created all of these beautiful living creatures and all of Earth within six days.
Without God, nothing in this world or universe would be possible for us. He created everything so beautifully for us. He created the light and good in the world. He was not just thinking about himself, he did all of this for us to be able to survive. I am Catholic, so I believe in this very much. A lot of other people nowadays do not believe in God or that he is the creator of everything, like I do. I am very thankful to have such a beautiful place to live in, especially because it was created by such a selfless being.
