Parables of the Bible: Creation

Disclaimer: God alone owns the deed to the Universe. I wouldn't want it for all the tea in China.
Author's Note: Read a story once that stated had God put too much oxygen in the atmosphere that one spark would have set the world on fire; too little, and rain would have fallen like machine gun bullets from a mile-high cloud.
(Day 2)
"You put too much oxygen in the atmosphere," the Great Uncle pointed out. "You are going to set the world on fire."
The Son sighed. "Well, let's try again." He turned back to the chemistry set and siphoned out the extra oxygen.
The Great Uncle shook His head. "Now you've gone and done it. If Your Father finds out..."
"If I find out what?" a booming voice inquired. "Problems?"
"Oxygen," the Son commented, not looking up. "Haven't reached the right amount just yet."
"Here, let Me do it," the King answered. Clearing His throat, His voice was heard throughout the Universe. "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters to separate the waters above from the waters below." And it was so. And the King found it was good.
"That was easy enough," the Son and the Great Uncle said in unison.
"Jinx, you owe me a soda!" the Son said laughing.
"That hasn't even been invented yet," the Great Uncle grumbled good-naturedly.
"Kids these days!" the Great King groaned.
And there was evening and morning. The second day.
