Discuss the process of creation

Answer 1

First we must understand that God does not do anything on the spur of the moment. He first plans what His intentions are and the reason for them. He will draw up a blue print so to speak. Designing everything from the tiniest flower to the greatest beast. There will also be a place for mankind in this blue print, as man is in the image of God there was no need to plan what he will look like. All other worlds ever created (Organized) were done in this manner by His will and by His pleasure. The process by which this world came to be is described in the Book of Genesis. Contrary to some of our learned men and women, man, beasts and all manner of living things did not evolve but were placed upon this earth as they were meant to be, each to his own kind and in their own season.

Answer 2

With the exception of mankind, we are only told what God made, not how He made it. That fact is in order to stress mankind's importance.

To make man, God fashioned the appropriate shape from dirt and breathed a soul into it (Genesis ch.2). He then made the first woman by fashioning her from a piece of the man's flesh (ibid).

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.
