EARTHLY CREATIVE WORKS OF JEHOVAH
Day No. Creative Works Texts
1 Light; division between day and night Ge 1:3-5
2 Expanse, a division between waters
beneath the expanse and waters above it Ge 1:6-8
3 Dry land; vegetation Ge 1:9-13
4 Heavenly luminaries become discernible
from earth Ge 1:14-19
5 Aquatic souls and flying creatures Ge 1:20-23
6 Land animals; man Ge 1:24-31
It must be noted the the creative "days" were not a period of 24 hours as Genesis 2:4, speaks of all the creative periods as one "day." Later the apostle Peter was inspired to write that "one day is with Jehovah (Yaweh) as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day." (2Pe 3:8) That each creative "day" may have spanned thousands of years harmonizes with the evidence found in the earth itself.

Another response from our community:It is not a myth or story.
For example, in Christianity, the creation story is outlined in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. It describes how God created the world in six days, culminating in the creation of humans, Adam and Eve, who were made in God's image and given dominion over the Earth.
Adam was the first man in the Muslim creation story.
The story of creation can be found in Genesis 1. The creation of Adam and Eve can be found in Genesis 2.
Both Christian and Muslim creation stories share similarities, such as the belief in a single, all-powerful God as the creator. However, they differ in some details like the timeline of creation and the role of Adam and Eve. In Christianity, Adam and Eve are seen as the first humans who disobeyed God, leading to the concept of original sin, while in Islam, Adam and Eve's disobedience is seen as a mistake that was forgiven by God.
No she is a character in a monotheistic creation story, therefore only one god exists, meaning goddesses do not exists in the religions which believe in Adam and Eve. She is told to be the wife of Adam, the worlds first woman, in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
That would be Adam in the story of creation in Genesis.
In the second biblical creation story (Genesis 2:4b-20), God's creation of Adam was the first act of creation. God then planted a garden eastward of Eden.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
A:Yes. I would consider everything from the story of Adam and Eve (chapter 2) through to the story of the Flood to be a continuous creation story, in the same genre as creation stories in other ancient religions, although there are minor discontinuities resulting from later redaction. Genesis chapter 1, through to 2:4a, is a creation story separate from the story of Adam and Eve.
Adam and Eve
Each tribal religion has its own creation story that explains how the world and its inhabitants came to be. These stories often involve supernatural beings, spirits, or gods shaping the world through their actions and decisions. The specifics of these creation stories can vary widely between different tribal groups.
The Catholic creation story, based on the Book of Genesis, depicts God creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh day. In contrast, the Islamic creation story, outlined in the Quran, emphasizes that Allah created the universe in six days as well but doesn't specify that He rested on the seventh day. Additionally, there are differing details in terms of the creation of Adam and Eve and their roles in each tradition's story.
