Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.
3
God spoke: "Light!" And light appeared.
4
God saw that light was good and separated light from dark.
5
God named the light Day, he named the dark Night. It was evening, it was morning - Day One.
