Scripture

The document summarizes two creation stories from the book of Genesis in the Bible. The first account describes God creating light on the first day, the sky and sea on the second day, plants on the third day, stars and planets on the fourth day, sea creatures and birds on the fifth day, and land animals and humanity on the sixth day, resting on the seventh. The second account has God creating man first before plants and placing him in the Garden of Eden, with four rivers flowing out including the Pishon, Gihon, Tigris and Euphrates. God then created Eve from Adam's rib to be his companion. The stories show God as the all-powerful creator and establish humanity's role
