2. Day 2 — Earth expanse Day 2 creation focuses on the habitability of Earth and the basis for the Earth’s expanse that exists with the numerous properties required to support abundant biological life. First, it is implied that water was created on Day 1 so it can manipulate where it is located. An atmosphere is created. Second, water is moved to subterranean locations that can be called upon to support plant and animal life. Third, some water is transformed into water vapor and resides in the upper atmosphere, acting as a shield for the Earth’s expanse. Water is transparent in the human visual spectrum, so seeing the space expanse is still available. Fig. 5 highlights the creation accomplishments on Day 2. 3. Day 3 — Land, oceans, and vegetation Day 3 sees several features introduced that are crucial elements to sustain life. First, there are distinctive characteristics of land and ocean conceived. The ground will have direct access to the atmosphere. The sea can draw nutrients from the atmosphere in different ways while in the water. Second, there is the separation of the land and oceans. At this point, there is a predictable place for land and sea so each domain’s animal and plant life can be adapted to its specific intended environment. Third, there is the general creation of vegetation over the Earth. Fourth, there is the first mention of vegetation, which includes providing food for others. Fifth, there are various kinds of seed-bearing vegetation, including grains. So, there is another type of food source and a reproductive method for vegetation to reproduce with seeds.

Day 4 — Space expanse Day 4 focuses on the space expanse. First, the sun, moon, and stars are placed within the space expanse. Second, the properties of electromagnetic radiation and matter or leveraged to enable the day to be light, with the electromagnetic energy coming from the sun and the darkness of night with no direct access to the light of the sun. Third, specific orbital relationships are set up between the Earth, the Moon, the solar system, and the Milky Way galaxy. This allows for the signs of the days, the months, the seasons, and the years when there is a completion of the regular cycles that the Earth travels through over time. Fourth, the sun governs the light and brightness of the day. The light and warmth of the sun promote life. Fifth, the reflected light from the Sun on the Moon governs the brightness of the night, for the times the Moon is visible at a particular location on the Earth. Fig. 7 highlights the creation accomplishments on Day 4. 5. Day 5 — Ocean and avian life Day 5 begins the process of creating animal life. The description is short but focuses on two significant biospheres of Earth. First, the oceans are populated with animal life after their kind. Second, the JOHANSEN Human brain function and the creation model 2023 ICC 293
