The creation story was written by someone, (Moses) to someone, (The children of Israel) for something, (to show them they were in fact God’s chosen people)…and reminding them that their Covenant God was also their Creation God. God spoke, and the vast universe came into being…He called forth into the nothingness and everything as we know it sprung forth. This magnificent creative power is only original to God, and can only be done by Him. God spoke and it happened…that is, making everything out of nothing.
