God gathered the waters together for oceans, rivers, lakes, etc. and called forth dry land. Also, on this day, God created life: grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees. And God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:14-19

God now creates the second heaven - space. He puts places the sun, moon, and stars. While the Bible does not specifically state it, it is my belief that this was also when he created the other planets. And God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:3 - 5

God creates light, separates the light from the darkness, and names them. The light is called Day and the darkness is called light. Verse 5 also clarifies a mis-interpretation. People take a part of the following verse out of context, as try to use it to say that the earth was not created in 6 literal, 24-hour days (2 Peter 3:8-9 King James Version (KJV) 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Notice, what this verse is talking about is the return of Jesus; not creation.

(There's the Son) Genesis 1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (There's the Holy Spirit) So the Trinity...
