God’s Creation: On the first day, God created light, separating it from darkness. On the second day, He made the sky. On the third day, God created land, seas, and plants. The fourth day brought the sun, moon, and stars. On the fifth day, God made fish and birds. Animals and humans were created on the sixth day.
