The bible outlines the story of creation in seven literal days. Some contend that the word “yom” can mean “period of time” - which is true - however, the bible clearly states in all but the second day that there was morning and there was evening each day, implying that they were literal 24-hour periods of time, not an indiscriminate one that could have meant millions of years of life, death, and evolution.

The days are firstly 3 days of separation then days of creation 3. Finally, God rests.

  1. Separation of light and darkness
  2. Separation of water and sky
  3. Separation of earth and sea then creation of plants
  4. Creation of the sun and moon
  5. Creation of birds and fish
  6. Creation of beasts, cattle, and man
  7. Sabbath; God rests
