God Makes the World
In the beginning there was only darkness. God spoke, and there was light. Day by day He made the sky, the seas, the land and every growing thing, the sun, moon and stars, fish and birds, and every animal. Last of all He made people in His own image. God looked at everything He had made, and it was very good. On the seventh day He rested.
Key verse
