Day 1: lightness, darkness, day, night
Day 2: the sky and water
Day 3: land, seas, grasses, plants, fruit-bearing trees
Day 4: Sun, moon, stars
Day 5: all swimming and flying animals
Day 6: beasts, livestock, reptiles, humans
Day 7: the 7th day
NOTE: The creation of what was created first and last in each day is disputed between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2.
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.

Is there evidence for Creation?
The Torah states that it was written in its entirety by one author, Moses (Deuteronomy 31:24), to whom it was dictated by God (Exodus 24:12), including earlier events.
The Torah has one creation-narrative, which takes the form of a summary (Genesis ch.1) followed by an in-depth recap (Rashi commentary, Genesis 2:8).
When we see a newspaper whose opening headline is paraphrased in the detailed story, we don't ascribe the repetition to different writers.
But this kind of literary device, which the Torah employs to enrich its text, has been used by Bible-critics in an attempt to reassign and divide up its authorship.
The Jewish sages, based on ancient tradition, identified many of the literary devices used by the Torah, which include:
- recapping earlier brief passages to elucidate,
- employing different names of God to signify His various attributes,
- using apparent changes or redundancies to allude to additional unstated details,
- speaking in the vernacular that was current during each era,
and many more. While Judaism has always seen the Torah as an intricate tapestry that nonetheless had one Divine source, some modern authors such as Wellhausen (the father of modern Biblical-criticism, 1844-1918) have suggested artificially attributing the narrative to several unknown authors, despite the Torah's explicit statement as to its provenance (Exodus 24:12, Deuteronomy 31:24). This need not concern believers, since his claims have been debunked one by one, as archaeology and other disciplines have demonstrated the integrity of the Torah. No fragments have ever been found that would support his Documentary Hypothesis, which remains nothing more than an arbitrary claim:
Refuting the JEPD Documentary Hypothesis
The creation-narrative in Genesis (a Christian author)
he made it in 6 days and rested onm the seventh
HE created the earth in six days and rested upon the final day.
Just as ordered it and it was created wonderfully.

6; and he rested on the 7th.
According to the Bible it took 6 days. On the seventh day he rested and blessed this day.
God created the universe, and this world, in six days days, and ceased ("rested") on the seventh (Genesis ch.1). See also the Related Links.Link: Evidence for CreationLink: Can you show that God existsLink: God's wisdom seen in His creations
Since I believe there is only one God, who has different names from different people, it took him 6 days to create the world.
God created the humans on the sixth day of creation it took him six days to create the universe the humans were the last things he created
God created inhabitants to fill it, in other words God 1st created forms and then filled them with inhabitants. Source- Conformation Textbook :)
God was said to create the world in 7 days. Whever this is true or not, sciences do not know. I belive God made the world, but in many thousands of years, rather than a week.
It is not known how God created plants, but we do know He did create them.
