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 Adam and Eve is associated with the religion of Christianity.
The story of creation can be found in Genesis 1. The creation of Adam and Eve can be found in Genesis 2.
The story of Adam and Eve is associated with the religion of Christianity.
According to the creation story in the Bible, God made Adam from the dust of the ground and breathed life into him, making him a living being.
The Quran differs from the Old Testament in that it does not attempt to be a narrative, in the way that the Old Testament does. Rather, it contains a series of affirmations of the same creation story. Islam arose in southern Arabia at a time when Judaism and Christianity were both beginning to make inroads into the ancient pagan beliefs, and arguably the Islamic creation story is simply based on the biblical stories.
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.
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.
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
