The Genesis account of Creation is so interesting because it is gradual and unfolding. Presumably, the Biblical writer could have had the Almighty speak the entire universe into existence at one moment in time. Science now gives us a glimpse into one "big-Bang" moment, with a gradual unfolding of life in successive stages, very much as Genesis reveals.
God's creation of each one of us is continuous and unfolding, not all-at-once. While we are still sleeping and unaware of what He is about, He is quietly sending light into our souls, light which still alternates with periods of darkness. He is slowly fashioning the world within us into a place of order, harmony, and beauty, a place wherein He Himself plans to stroll in the cool of the evening, when our work is done and we are receptive to His presence in us.
We cannot imagine the world God is creating within us, even while we are busy "tending the gardens" of this earth. Much less could we fashion that world for ourselves. But the result of each step along the way is, "And God saw that it was good." Looking back from whence we came, we also marvel at what He has done in us and see that it is good.
