2. Who moved upon the face of the waters? (the Spirit of God) (v.2)

3.What did God create on the 1st day of the creation week? (vs.3-5-light)

4. How do we know that the days of creation were literal days? (v.5-God defines a literal day—“the evening and the morning were the first day? The day starts for the Jews at 6pm in the evening and runs until the following day at 6pm)

5.What did God create on the 2nd day of the creation week? (vs.6-8-firmament)
