These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.... Genesis 2:4
"Let us ever remember that, since all things that are made reveal the 
power of God;—since the power that is manifested not simply to create but to uphold everything in the universe is the power that is working to save men;—and we see the Gospel in all creation, the story of creation was written for no other purpose than to teach us the Gospel, to show us God’s power to save us from sin."
