=Adam Friedman= Water and the World For centuries, nothing but space existed. There was nothingness, until God decided to create life. Life could not exist without one key element, water. So God wanted to create water. All of a sudden, the vast emptiness in space transformed into a colossal sphere of water. And thus, on the first day, there appeared water. The second day, God decided to create a place for certain life to live. God swept over the mass of water, and land violently arose. And thus, there appeared land. But God had a dilemma. God could not see his marvelous creations thus far. God decides to create masses of light. And thus, on the second day, there appeared the sun, and the moon. With both those objects in the sky, God determined that there was too much light, so he created stages in which each mass of light would appear at a certain time. By then, it was nighttime, and the moon was out. The moon gave off a trace of light, and suddenly, God creates tiny dots in the sky, called stars. On this second day, so much had been created, and God rested on his third day of creation. As the sun arose, so did God’s powers. However, God discovered his land had become crackled by the excess light. So God blew out a hurricane, and caused a tsunami to cover the earth. This would surely make His land fertile again. Also, to prevent this from happening again, he made the sky blue to dim down some of the light. But God had created nothing, so he decided to create animals of the sea and sky. Out of nothingness, birds of all shapes and sizes and colors flew into the sky. And fish dived into the sea. And thus, on the fourth day, there appeared creatures that fly and swim. At the break of dawn, God began his work again. The fifth day had come, and the water was overwhelming. God decided He should make plants and vegetation. Little pellets gravitated to the earth and sunk into the soil. Then, a pool of water arose to the sky, and was dispersed among the land as droplets. It began to rain. Suddenly, trees and plants of all sizes spewed out of the ground. Natural life had created beauty among the Earth. And thus, on the fifth day, there appeared land that turned green. After God’s light captures the beauty of his creations, he feels sorrow for the land because there were no creatures like that of the sky and the sea. All of the life God creates starts from water. So God takes his water, and suddenly, an abundant amount of creatures appear on land. And thus, on the sixth day, there appeared creatures of the land. Animals of various structures not only make the land plentiful, but it made God’s world a haven of creativity. But God knew his latest creation would not survive long without water. So God decided to cut the land with small slits for water to seep through. And, thus, water was somewhat abundant on land as well. God has created animals of all areas, light, nature, and most importantly, water. But all these animals needed a certain being to dominate over His world. So god took some water and mixed it with the soil from the land. And thus, on that final day, there appeared a human being. This single human being could not have multiples, so God took one rib from him, and created a partner, a female. Together, these two reign over the life of the world. God has finished all of his creating, and up until this day, he watches his creations evolve into what makes our world today. Soon after the end of God’s creations, the humans became a lawless society. One human in particular, Adam, whom God had created first, went against God’s law. Adam had cursed every living thing in the world because of his transgression. The world’s punishment was that the majority of the water would taste of salt, and therefore could not be drinkable. Today, we call this our ocean. But, because of that single misdemeanor, the world has been cursed with a horrible famine that almost ended nature. From then on, the humans knew never to do something against God ever again. Everything that occurred in the past has shaped what our world is like today.
