Some more features of the first creation story:

God creates environments by separating something from something on each day:

Day 1: Light / Darkness
Day 2: Above-Sky Sea / Below-Sky Sea
Day 3: Sea / Land

And God creates plants and land animals by commanding the earth to produce them, though for sea and flying animals, he simply commands them to come into existence.

Hmmm... I'm half-thinking of starting a poll on which Genesis creation story that we like, on esthetic or storytelling or whatever grounds. I'm thinking of these options:

I prefer the first one: six days
I prefer the second one: Adam and Eve
I don't have a preference
I think that there is only one Genesis creation story: six days + Adam and Eve
Magically created brownies

Would it be more suitable for here or GRD? And should I make it public? (who voted for what listed in it)
