The Timeline of Creation ?????

[Bible Speaks]

THE TIME LINE OF CREATION

• THE BEGINNING

  The material heavens and earth are created.—Genesis 1:1.

• 

  DARKNESS

  The earth is formless, desolate, and dark.—Genesis 1:2.

• 

  FIRST DAY

  Diffused light evidently penetrates the earth’s atmosphere. If there had been any observer on the surface of the earth, the sources of light would have been imperceptible to him. Yet, the difference between night and day became discernible.—Genesis 1:3-5.

• 

  SECOND DAY

  The earth is covered with water and a dense mantle of vapor. These two elements are separated, creating a gap between the watery surface and the canopy of vapor. The Bible describes this space as “an expanse between the waters,” and calls it “Heaven.”—Genesis 1:6-8.

• 

  THIRD DAY

  Surface water subsides and dry ground appears. The atmosphere clears up to allow more sunlight to reach the ground. Some vegetation appears, with new species sprouting through the third and subsequent creative days.—Genesis 1:9-13.

• 

  FOURTH DAY

  The sun and moon become discernible from the earth’s surface.—Genesis 1:14-19.

• 

  FIFTH DAY

  God creates underwater creatures and flying creatures in great numbers with the ability to procreate within their kinds.—Genesis 1:20-23.

• 

  SIXTH DAY

  Land animals are created, both large and small. The sixth day culminates with a masterpiece of God’s physical creation: the first human couple.—Genesis 1:24-31.

Just like to add:  the water was on the earth already before the creative 'day/period'   1/one,  when the earth was desolate and dark because Jehovah's spirit was moving over the waters;  to  me, it has always been logical that the earth had a very long cooling off period after the physical heavens and earth were created because this cooling down process was responsible for the water and dense vapor which Jehovah then subsequently divided on day 2.
