According to the Bible, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the surface of the deep waters. Then, 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 “night”. This was the first day of creation, as described in the book of Genesis.
