“For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; and by those means the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water. But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.” – 2 Peter 3:5-7
In the beginning the earth was a formless waste, shrouded in water and gas. On the second creative day God commanded a division of the waters, so that one mass of water should cover the earth as ocean, and another mass be suspended high above the earth as a heavenly ocean – a deluge.
