In the beginning ,the firmament is completely void and empty until a Creator , God ,who occupies His kingdom in heaven decided to create the universe. The first celestial phenomenon is the solar system composed of the planets moons stars, to light up the sky.. The planets take a complete revolution around the Sun , the biggest and brightest Star for 365 days equivalent to one year. God chose one planet to put life in it. Life that will cover Planet Earth. He chose Earth for a specific purpose. On Earth He created mountains valleys open fields where living plants thrive , trees , shrubs vines and vegetation covering the grasslands. Then He created living animals to graze on the grasslands mountains and valleys. These animals are numerous from big huge sizes to smallest ones living in every corner of the globe. God provided nutrients from he soil, and, rain to water them and air to make them grow. God's purpose to create these plants is to use them as food for the animals to live and grow. The plants bear beautiful colorful flowers to attract insects. It is only the Planet Earth God has place living things. Creating bodies of water, creeks lakes rivers, waterfalls, lagoons and the biggest body are the oceans. The ocean's salty water is much different from fresh water . In these bodies of water are full of living creatures like fishes , shells, beautiful reefs crustaceans and amphibians. Big sizes of fish thrives in the wide span of waving waters where huge fishes swim thousand of miles to migrate when the weather changes. Freshwater fishes swim up and down streams to lay spawn and hatch their eggs. Up high on the air birds fly to find food with beautiful colorful feathers landing on tree branches. These birds can fly thousands of miles to find a place to mate. Both plants and animals live all over inside Planet Earth God has created. To God this is a preparation something good to His Creation. Seeing the plants made Him think who would take care of them. He thought of putting a living being like Him to live on Planet Earth. What will the living being looks like? God took a handful of clay and began to design the human being he wanted to live on Earth, with the same looks as He is. First he molded the upper part which is the head composed of the skull hair ears eyes nose cheeks and it became the face. a face which looks like the same as His, the neck to the torso, with two hands with five fingers each. These hands have joints in order to bend , more flexible to move than just straight. The next part is the abdomen containing the stomach and then his two legs to let him walk around with his foot with ten toes. This is the skeletal frame of the human being God has created. In His mind how can He make him move around? The air around gives life by breathing. God inhaled the air and exhale it to the human beings He has created. As soon as the human body inhaled the air his whole body change into human flesh and the skin covered it. As he breaths back and forth ,he came into life as a living human being and soul. First, God names him Adam the first male human being to live on Planet Earth. God explained to him, everything is ready for him to sustain his life. He has to eat in order to live.
