Discussion Groups
Break everyone into three groups and give them the instructions as listed below:
Group 1
Read Genesis 1:1-8 and discuss the following questions:

- When God separated the light from the dark, calling the light “day” and the dark “night” – thus making up one day, was this the first rotation of the earth or is it talking about something else?
- What water is God separating in verses 6-8? Where is the water above the sky?
