"And God said “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day." (Genesis 1:3-5 NIV)

The quote from Genesis 1:3-5 NIV in the Bible describes the creation of the world by God in Abrahamic religions, where He created light and separated it from darkness, marking the first day. It is a reminder of God's power as the creator of all things, and the story of creation in the Bible is a testament to God's majesty and power. It is often interpreted as a metaphor for the creation of the world and it is believed that God created the world in a perfect state.

In addition to the creation story in the Bible, many other cultures and religions have their own versions of how the world and everything in it came to be.
Ancient Egyptian mythology, ancient Greek mythology, Hinduism, Chinese mythology, and every other culture, religion, or mythology have their own version.
All these creation myths share a common theme that there is a creator or creators who brought the universe and everything in it into existence. Each culture has its own unique way of explaining the creation of the world and its inhabitants.

Creation myths, such as the one in the Bible, explain the origins of the world and everything in it.
They provide a foundation for belief in a higher power and a reminder of the purpose and meaning of existence.
They can also serve as a way to understand the natural world, customs, rituals, and beliefs. They give a sense of order, purpose, and meaning to the world and the universe. They can also provide a moral and ethical framework, comfort and reassurance, and a way to connect people to their culture and heritage.
