Genesis 1 v 14 - 31 - Days 3 - 6

Genesis 1 v 3 - 10 - Days 1 -3

v3 - 5 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning - the first day.

God said, and things happened. It just amazes me sometimes, the great power that God has. His command makes things reality! 

The first things he wants, is for light, but it's not the sun, the sun doesn't come into it til a little later. I don't really know about this light, or what it does or how it is light. God sees this light as good, God's pretty good himself, so whatever he creates is probably going to be good as well. When God creates light, he doesn't eliminate darkness though, he just makes them so they exist together but separately in the form of day and night. 

"Days". Is this 24 hours? God's days? Who knows, doesn't really matter either! But, there is a distinction between verses 1&2 and then verses 3-5. The earth has been around a lot longer than species have, so it is likely that there is a time lapse between the first set of verses, but we don't really know, timings are very different.

v6 -8 And God said: "Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water." So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning - the second day. 

God said, and God did. Not just saying it like in verse 4 & 5 but today he said what he wanted and then he made it. Pretty cool huh.  He separated water on earth, with the water in heaven, which apparently are clouds? Anyway, day 2!

v9 -10 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.

So in verse 2 there's just some mass of water, and here God organizes the chaos a little but making it into land and water, and making it useful for us. And there's this whole idea of "Pangaea" that like the land was all in one place, and we've all separated away from it in the different continents. But regardless, the water in the sea all flows together, it's not separate. But yeah, pretty simple, God starts making the earth ready for us!
