187 God's Creation

Genesis 1:1-2:3, TBC Book One, Chapter 1
It is hard to imagine how our world came into being, because no one was there to watch it—except God. People today have a lot of ideas to explain how the world cam to be. They also have a lot of questions. But the first people on earth brought their questions to God, and God explained it this way. . . .

In the beginning, the earth looked nothing like it does now. It was dark and empty. But my Spirit was upon it. So when I said, “Let there be light, there was light.” Yet I did not remove the darkness. The light I called “day,” the darkness “night.”
        At that time, all you would have seen was water. I decided to draw up some of the water to hold it above the earth. So I made a special area for that water, the sky. That was my second step in creating the world. And I liked what I saw. . . .
