Day 1: God created the heavens and the earth. Also, He divided light and dark (Night and day)
Day 2: God created water and divided the sky from the ocean
Day 3: He created dry land, grass, trees, plants, etc.
Day 4: He created sun, moon, and stars, and set the days and seasons in motion.
Day 5: Birds and animals in the ocean
Day 6: land animals and Man.
This can all be found in Genesis chapter 1.
Another answer:
The "creation" account in Genesis 1 is actually a "RE-creation" account of a destroyed earth:
"The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness..." (Gen.1:2 NLT New Living Translation).
Same verse; Living Bible [LVB]: "...the earth was a shapeless, chaotic mass, with the Spirit of God brooding over the dark vapors."
God is the Source of "Light" and Satan is the source of "darkness."
"Your eye is a lamp for your body. A Pure eye lets sunshine into your soul. But and Evil eye shuts out the light and plunges you into darkness. If the light you think you have is really darkness, how deep that darkness will be!" (Matt.6:22-23 NLT)
"The night is almost gone; the day of Salvation will soon be here. So don't live in darkness. Get rid of your evil deeds. Shed them like dirty clothes. Clothe yourselves with the Armor of Right Living, as those who live in the Light." (Rom.13:12 NLT)
Other scriptures reveal that the chaotic state the earth was in in the beginning and the resulting "darkness" was the result of Satan's rebellion against God's Government before man was made. Satan and his angels launched their attack upon God's throne in heaven FROM EARTH:
"For you said to yourself, 'I will ascend to heaven [go to heaven] and rule the angels. I will take the Highest Throne... I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High." (Isa.14:13-14 LVB)
The King James Version [KJV] says: "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds..." (verse 14). "Clouds" are a phenomenon that occurs "within the earth's atmosphere! " Not in heaven. Therefore, Satan was standing ON THE EARTH when he entertained these rebellious thoughts.
It was back down to earth where Michael and his angels cast Satan and his angels, following their coup attempt on God's throne in heaven:
"And the great Dragon lost the battle and was forced out of heaven... This great Dragon - the ancient Serpent called the Devil, or Satan... was thrown down to the earth with all his angels." (Rev.12:8-9 NLT)
This is what caused the "dark, chaotic, shapeless mass" that the earth was found in, when God finally began to "RE-create" the earth in Genesis 1; verse 3. When an army of powerful spirit beings are cast down onto a planet... what are the results?
"...I saw Satan falling from heaven AS A FLASH OF LIGHTNING! " (Luke 10:18 NLT)
When a meteor or asteroid or left-over space debris from that monumental "space war" [Star Wars] strikes the earth... is the earth affected?
So, what God did for those "six days" of RE-creation of the [already existing, but destroyed] earth, was to "prepare the earth in stages TO SUSTAIN MAN!
On the first day, Satan's darkness was nullified by God's Light... God's presence. The "light" God called "day" and the "darkness" He called "night" is a "twenty-four hour rotation of the earth" that we call a "one day," today, as viewed from a fixed point on the earth. In other words... God created TIME on the first Day of RE-creation. Time is "physical"... measured by the rotations and orbits of the planets.
The second day, God created a "breatheable atmosphere" around the earth that man, animals and plants would require to live - the "space between the waters" [the earth's atmosphere, the "first heaven," the space between the waters on the earth and the reestablishment of the precipitating clouds above].
We call it -- the SKY!
On the third day... the water-covered earth saw the rising of land masses forming above sea level. Man, animals and plant-life would require something to stand on... or drown. The seeds of plants, grass, trees, etc... may well have been left over from the original creation of the earth, before the Dragon's rebellion and subsequent destruction of the earth. But, like the destruction that occurred around Mt. St. Helens in recent past... the recovering earth replanted what had lain dormant for a time. So, would the seeds of earth's former flora before it became a "chaotic mass" have blossomed again with the reestablishment of the "light and the water and the soil of the earth."
On the fourth day, the stars, sun and moon became evident as seen from earth to establish the season, day, month and year cycles. Just as the earth was destroyed after some undisclosed amount of time after God's original creation of the universe, by Satan's rebellion... it follows that all of the planets would have been affected, also. Indeed, does an objective view of outer space reveal the dead planets around us... and the space debris [planetary shrapnel] still floating and colliding with one another... mostly going unrepaired and awaiting the birth of God's Children; His Family of Creators, to inherit that future task, following the present allotted time God is giving man to experience his first phase of existence.
God restocked the earth with sea creatures and birds on the fifth day. What man hasn't aspired to soar like the birds... or to go fishing every chance he gets?
On the sixth day, the earth was refurbished and ready to sustain man. So, God made the land creatures, each created in their own likeness and after their kind... and He created man, not after the ape-kind but, after the God-kind -- created, specially and in one twenty-four hour day -- in God's image.
And then God made the "Seventh-day"... the Sabbath Day by resting... for man to REMEMBER CREATION... to REMEMBER HIS CREATOR... to remember that he is God's creation.
The rest is history; man forgot to remember creation -- and the god he chose to worship and obey, instead of his Creator, has been leading man, who refuses to learn the lessons of history, to reenact his original rebellion, to bring the earth once again to a state of "a formless, chaotic mass, cloaked in darkness."
"In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened [by God], the entire human race will be destroyed. But it will be shortened for the sake of God's chosen ones." (Matt.24:22 NLT)
And so is a second re-creation of the earth in God's plan at the end of man's allotted time of errant rule on the earth [see Rev.21:1].

∙ 8y agoDay by day, God created the universe and everything in it (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). Nachmanides on Gen. 1:1 states emphatically that this is a fundamental tradition.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.
On day 1: God created the universe in general, light, and this Earth. The light was not the same as that of the sun. Rather, it was light that God created before the sun, and which emanated from a point in space without any physical source; like what we might term a "white hole."
On day 2: God created the separation between the Earth and the upper atmosphere.
On day 3: God separated the continents from the oceans, and created plants.
On day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars.
On day 5: God created birds and fish.
On day 6: God created animals and people.
On day 7: God ceased creating, thereby creating the concept of rest.

Note that according to tradition, there is only one Genesis creation-narrative, with ch.2 serving as an expansion of the brevity of ch.1, not a separate set of events (Rashi commentary, Gen. 2:8).

That really depends on which creation epic you are referring to. There are many. In the Babylonian story, Marduk defeated Tiamat and created the world using her carcass.

Our world and the heavens we can see were created in three days of the original six days of creation. On the first day, light was created and day and night came into being. On the second day, our skies were created. After the third day's creation of seas, land, and vegetation, came the fourth day's creation of the sun, stars, and moon, to help us mark time. Sea creatures and birds were created on the fifth day and on the six day, land animals and man were created. At the end of the sixth day is the comment that this was how the heavens and earth were created.
