The Creation was done by God. It did not come out by itself. Every created thing was good with purpose. Everything was made by God’s word, except for the human – He “formed” Adam the first man from dust of the ground. The Creation was done for the human. Everything was perfect. The Creation was done in 6 periods which was called “yom”.
