The Creator Fashions The Earth
And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth." And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
(Genesis 1:9-13)
God created space. He now focuses on the earth. "let the dry land appear" implies that the land was already there, and that water covered them. When did that happen?
Before Day 1 there was only matter. It was "void", i.e, it had no energy.
Then on Day 1 God created light. Light is a form of energy and God imparted it into matter. Matter and energy were combined to form the elements, the atomic structure of matter was defined. The periodic table of the elements was defined. Time was defined.
On Day 2 God created space. He created three dimensional space. On a macro scale, the elements combined into molecules, crystals, suspensions, and various solid, liquid, and gaseous forms. The earth took on a spherical shape. The earth is no longer "formless" and "void."
On Day 3 the Creator caused the waters that cover the earth to recede. All this rapid action of water, happening in less than a day, to be stored in the labyrinths of the earth leave the various stratification of rocks and hills and mountains that we see today. The dry land appears. The shape of the land and the seas, caused by the action of water happened by design.
The Designer was not finished yet. He made the dry land appear. He then caused the right atoms to combine into molecules to form amino acids, protein, and plant DNA. He then embedded these DNA into the complex cells and structures that make up a plant. We know of over 300,000 species of plants today but God only knows how many species He made. More species are being discovered everyday. God formed them out of the elements in the earth after he separated the land from the seas. All of these happened on Day 3.
