1. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2. The earth didn't have any shape. And it was empty. Darkness was over the surface of the ocean. At that time, the ocean covered the earth. The Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3. God said, "Let there be light." And there was light.
4. God saw that the light was good. He separated the light from the darkness.
5. God called the light "day." He called the darkness "night." There was evening, and there was morning. It was day one.
6. God said, "Let there be a huge space between the waters. Let it separate water from water."
7. And that's exactly what happened. God made the huge space between the waters. He separated the water that was under the space from the water that was above it.
