By saying that each created thing was good (Genesis ch.1), God thereby explained that the created things were purposeful and meaningful.
Day by day, God created the universe and its contents (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30).Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b.

He did not explain it, He has no need to explain His work to anyone. The Bible does say that, after each days work, He, "Saw that it was good."
God created the animals, and He created man.
well in all actuallity there were tchnically on 6 days of creation and a day of resting. so there was no eighth day of creation. When does day end, when does it begin, where does the night end, day begin.
In the Christian perception of God, he should never need to rest, thus making the seventh day an anachronism. However, the Jews wanted to know why they were required to hold the seventh day to be a day of rest. One version of the Ten Commandments says that God commanded the Israelites to respect the sabbath day because that was the day on which God rested.
The current seven days of the week were popularised by the Romans, but the very reason we count a week as seven days is because of the account of the early chapters of Genesis. Sunday was traditionally the first day of the week amongst God's people, so day 1 would correspond to a Sunday of our calendar.
The story has different interpretations depending on which bible is being used as well as who is doing the interpreting. The first five days of creation are much the same in most bibles. It has always been my understanding that there were 7 days of creation. It's on the 6th day when the story seems to take a bit of a twist. God says '..let us make man in our image..'. For some scholars, it is believed and taught that God is simply 'stating'' that He is going to be creating man in His image but did not actually do it on the 6th day. On the 7th day God rested. So now we have 5 consecutive days of creation, and two days when God did not work, the 6th and the 7th.. Immediately following God's day off, the story says that God prepared a garden and begins the forming of Adam. Clearly, it is another day and God is back at work again. Although it is actually the 8th consecutive day, it is widely accepted as being the 6th day of creation. This particular interpretation seems somewhat incomplete. The story of creation as I have known it, was that God did in fact create ' mankind ' on the 6th day, that is to say He populated the entire earth with people of all races. It also seems to make the timeline more accurate. Six consecutive days of creation, the 7th day of rest and the creation of Adam and Eve on the following day. This seems more sensible of an interpretation. A point of interest happened while Caine was argueing with God saying that he had no place to go and that "..they will surely kill me.." Who are " ..they?". Certainly, there were other people on the earth before Adam and Eve.
sixth day of creation "god" made humans in his "own" picture.
The biblical writer used a fivefold pattern in the creation story to structure the narrative according to the days of creation. Each day describes a specific aspect of the creation process, culminating in the creation of humans on the sixth day and God resting on the seventh day.
It depends on the tradition of the worshiper.Answer 1No, God completed His creation in six days and rested on the seventh day. That was all there was.Answer 2Yes. Judaism holds that world is continually recreated and held in existence by God. God is also responsible for the creation of each new form of life and the meshing of souls with bodies in all newborns.

On the sixth day, God created man.
He created light and darkness. Read Genesis chapter 1.
God said "good" twice on the sixth day of creation when he created animals and then created man and woman. He saw that it was good when he created the animals and again when he created humans in his own image.
Lions were created on day 6 of the creation week.
That would depend on which god you refer to.
The Baha'i Faith definitely believes in God's creation of the universe and this planet, but it also believes that science and religion must agree since both are from God. In those areas where they disagree, one must be in error. For this reason, creation as shown in Genesis should be viewed with an eye toward each "day" symbolizing each geological "age" of this Earth's evolution.
rest
According the Genesis, day three of creation.
