Young people

Everything in its place

Empty world

In the beginning there was nothing, nothing at all. There was no sky and no Earth. There was no light, there was no darkness. There was no yesterday and no tomorrow. There was no today. There were no people. There was only God.

All at once, suddenly, when there was no one there, God made the sky and the earth. That was the beginning. The earth was a quagmire; it was as dark as mud.

Until something happened. It was God, who said "Light". And, look, there was light.

"That looks good", said God. "Light, from now on, I shall call you day." Then God looked to the darkness. "Darkness mustn't think that it can be the boss." And God commanded "Darkness you there, go and find your own place. You are called night."

That was day one.
