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.


  • 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.

What did God create on the 4th day?

14 According to the Bible, "And on the fourth day he created the sun, the moon and stars, and he set them in the vault of heaven to give light on earth to have charge over day and night and to separate light from darkness." Then God said, "Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them mark off the seasons, days, and years. 15 Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth." And that is what happened. 16 God made two great lights-the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set these lights in the sky to light the earth, 18 to govern the day and night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And evening passed and morning came, marking the fourth day. So the sun, moon, and stars.


Who was the founder of the stars?

What day did God create the planets?

The earth is a planet and seems to have been created before day 1 in the first creation account in Genesis. The ancients did not realise that the other planets were worlds as large as our own; they simply thought of them as lights placed in the firmament, just above the earth, which was the centre of the universe. Genesis says that God created the lights in the firmament on the fourth day.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation


How many lights did God create on the 4th day?

The intention of the Genesis account of the fourth creation day is not at all to this question specifically but to point to God as the creator and to state what it was He created. Thus, this question can partly be ed today by modern science which has calculated an unimaginatively vast number for the 'lights' referred to in Genesis 1. The sun and the Moon are of course mentioned specifically as our most significant 'lights' but clearly all of the universe is intended as well.Genesis 1:14-1914And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
