Genesis: The Beginning

Genesis: The Beginning --- In the beginning, there was nothing—only darkness and silence.

Then God spoke. “Let there be light.” And light burst into the darkness. God separated day

from night, forming time itself. The heavens stretched wide, waters parted,

and dry land rose. Trees grew, bearing fruit. The sun ruled the day,

the moon guarded the night, and stars filled the sky. Fish filled the

seas. Birds soared through the air. Animals walked the earth.

And God saw that it was good. Thus began the story of creation—the beginning of everything.
