 * In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. On earth, He made the seas and mountains. He created animals of different shapes and colors. He also created men and women and He gave them everything they need to live happily. Then, God saw that the people whom He created were fighting with one another, and forgetting their God who made them. So He chose a righteous man with a strong faith to guide the people onto the right path and bring them close to God. || [[image:http://www.jesusanswers.com/images6/1601976.gif width="144" height="123" caption="Creation Story"]] ||
