Genesis Creation Narrative

The Genesis Creation Narrative presents a structured account of God's act of creating the universe in six days. It begins with the earth being formless and empty, then describes the formation of light, sky, land, plants, celestial bodies, animals, and finally humans, highlighting their divine purpose. On the seventh day, God rests, establishing a rhythm of work and rest. The story emphasizes themes of order, purpose, and the inherent goodness of creation, serving as a foundational myth that explains the origins of the world and humanity within the Judeo-Christian tradition.
