God is The Creator

In Genesis Chapter 1 it says...
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth...

Then God spoke various parts of creation into existence by saying...

"Let there be light,"

"Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." ...

God called the expanse "sky."

"Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear."

"Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds."

"Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years..."

"Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky."

"Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind."

"Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
