Genesis #2: The Song of Creation (Genesis 1:2-2:3)
The Starting Point (1:2)
Ancient creation stories are asking “Why isn’t all of life chaotic?/Why is there beauty and order?”
NOT “Why is there anything at all?/How did this stuff get here?”
Genesis 1 engages this question with the true story of the world.


The Song of Creation (1:3-31)

Day 4 - Sun, moon & stars
Day 5 - Sky creates & sea creatures
Day 6 - Land creatures & humans

Day 1 - Day/night (time)
Day 2 - Sky/sea
Day 3 - Land

The Climax: Day 7 (2:1-3)
NO evening or morning (cf. Revelation 22:3-5).
