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.
- Separation of light and darkness
- Separation of water and sky
- Separation of earth and sea then creation of plants
- Creation of the sun and moon
- Creation of birds and fish
- Creation of beasts, cattle, and man
- Sabbath; God rests
