Day by day, God created the universe and everything in it (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.

Describe Christian ideas on the origins of the world?
Many Christians believe that the world was created ex nihilo by God around 6,000 years ago. However, this is not supported by science, nor is the belief strictly in accordance with the Bible.Until the early centuries of Christianity, Christians based their beliefs more literally on the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, but these beliefs are less commonly held today. Because there are two creation stories in Genesis: (1) verses 1:1 to 2:4a; (2) 2:4b to 2:22, Christianity generally preferred the version in Genesis 1:1 to 2:4a for its understanding of the creation of the world in six days. However, Christianity does use the second story for its literal understanding of the creation of Adam.The first of these (1:1-2:4a) is recognised by scholars as the work of the Priestly (P) source, based on a Mesopotamian mythe encountered by the Jews in Babylon. So, the creation account that has the world created in six days, which every Christian learns as a child, did not even exist prior to the sixth century BCE. A summary follows, in order to show that there really are two creation accounts in Genesis: In Genesis 1:1 to 2:4a ( up to first sentence of 2:4) there was a pre-existing watery chaos. The ocean was already present and a wind moved across the surface. The seas rested on the dry land, which appeared on day 3 when God gathered the waters together. The order of creation was as follows: (Day 1) light [day]; (2) the firmament, which was believed to separate the waters of the heavens from the lower waters; (3) By gathering the lower waters in one place the land appeared. Grasses and trees; (4) sun; moon and stars - the lights in the firmament; (5) fish, land creatures and fowl; (6) man, both male and female. Notice that the light of day was not yet understood to have originated from the sun, although the sun was universally understood to rule the day. That is why it was possible to have grass and trees before the sun was created.Genesis 2:4b to 2:15 says that there was pre-existing dry land, but God had yet to make it rain for plants to grow. A spring arose and God took some moist clay and made Adam. After Adam, he made the creatures of earth, one by one, then finally Eve. This account could scarcely be different from the previous version.Some Christians hold to what they regard as a literal reading of the Bible, with the world and all life on it created just 6000 years ago, while others seek to accommodate the biblical stories within a much longer timeframe. Finally, some Christians who acknowledge that the world is far older than stated in the biblical account accept that it was formed by natural processes. Many see a compromise between science and religion and hold to "theistic evolution" as the explanation for the world we live in.For a more detailed explanation of different views, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

What was God's message to Adam and Eve during the six days of creation?
A:It is hard to see any connection between the first biblical creation story in Genesis 1:!-2:4a, and the second one which follows. It is in the first creation story that God took six days for creation, but man (both male and female) was only created at the very end of the sixth day as the very last act of creation, after which God rested. In the context of this story, God could not have given Adam and Eve any message during these six days. True, God did create Adam as his very first act of creation in the second creation story, but here there is no mention of six days and Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that we must scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first.Another answerIn Genesis 1:28ff God blesses the man and woman and tells them:- be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth.God gave man a mandate to subdue creation and have dominion over it-to use it but not abuse it.- He has given them every herb and fruit for food.This was not during the first six days man was created on the sixth day
