 It is generally believed that the whole world and the heavens were created by God. There are various accounts of creation. Creation is the act of making or causing something to be or exist. It is a way of bringing out something new.

The Bible record of creation is that in the beginning, the whole

 the world was without form, void and darkness were on the surface of the deep. God created the world out of nothing.

  In the first account of creation, God spent six days in creating the world while He rested on the seventh day and

 hallowed the seventh day.

Day 4God created the heavenly bodies – the Sun, Moon, Stars and other planets. There are two great lights created to control day and night. For example, the sun is to shine and rule the day, while the moon and the stars are to shine and rule the night. Gen.1:14-19

Day 5 All kinds of sea creatures such as fishes, whales and every kind of birds were created. These creatures were good in the sight of God and He blessed them and commanded them to be fruitful, multiply and fill the sea, the sky and the land. Gen.1:20-23.

Day 6 God created all kinds of land animals on land like the elephant, the lion, cows, sheep, goats etc. Finally, God created man in His own image and likeness. He created them male and female. He commanded them to be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth. God also gave man dominion over all the earth and put the man in charge of other things He created on the earth. Gen.1:24-31.
