| Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden |
Long, long ago, in the very beginning of time, there was God.
There was no shape to the earth then, and total darkness and raging waters covered everything. Everywhere was waster and empty until God set about creating the world. He said “Let there be light” and then the light came. God divided the light from the dark, and He called the light “Day” and the darkness “Night”. Evening and morning came, and that was the first day.
Then God made the sky, like a great dome. Evening and morning came, and that was all done in the second day.
Next God made the earth. He ordered the waters below the sky to come together, and so it happened. He named the waters “Seas” and the dry land which was left He named “Earth”, and He was pleased with what He saw. Then he ordered all kinds of plants to grow upon the earth---plants which bore grain and plants which bore fruits and plants with flowers. Evening and morning came, and that was the end of the third day.
Then God ordered great shining lights to appear in the sky. The two largest lights were he “Sun” and the “Moon”; the sun was to rule over the day; and the moon over the night. The smaller lights were the stars, including planets, comets and meteors. Evening and morning came, and so ended the fourth day.
However, there were as yet no living creatures in it. So the next day, God made fish and birds. He filled the waters with all kinds of fish, from enormous sea-monsters and whales down to the tiniest minnows and sticklebacks.
In the air, He put all kinds of birds, from great eagles to tiny wrens and linnets. The sea and the skies were now full of beautiful creatures. God was pleased with what He saw and He blessed all the living things He had made. When evening and morning had passed, that was the fifth day.
Then God said, “Let the earth produce all kinds of animals.” He made a wonderful variety of creatures to live in the world; there were enormous beasts, like elephants, giraffes and rhinoceros, and tiny moles and mice, shrews and spiders.
Then God said, “I will make human beings, who will be something like me.
