According to the biblical Genesis creation narrative, God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh, with specific acts of creation on each day as follows: Day 1: God created light, separating it from darkness, thus establishing day and night
. Day 2: God created the sky and the atmosphere, separating the waters above from the waters below
. Day 3: God gathered the waters to reveal dry land and created vegetation, including plants and trees
. Day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars to give light to the earth and to mark seasons, days, and years
. Day 5: God created sea creatures and birds, blessing them to be fruitful and multiply
. Day 6: God created land animals and then humans, making humans in His own image and giving them dominion over the earth and its creatures
. Day 7: God rested from His work, blessing and sanctifying the day as a day of rest
. This sequence highlights a structured creation process, culminating in humanity and followed by divine rest, emphasizing both the creative power and orderliness attributed to God in the biblical account.
