Explanation:
<em>"Ex nihilo"</em> is a Latin phrase meaning "out of nothing". It figuratively means that God created the cosmos out of nothing.
First sentence is the beginning of the story as shown by the traditional starting phrase <em>"A long time ago"</em>
The second sentence tells us what happened to the darkness (given a command by God). It is also important to note the use of article "<em>the"</em> before "darkness", since it has been mentioned before.
The third sentence tells us what happened as the result of the command. (Note the use of article "a" before sphere).
The fourth sentence tells more about the sphere and uses "the" before "sphere". It also mentions God.
The fifth sentence tells about the bright light (light of God).
The sixth sentence introduces animal using article "an".
The seventh sentence tells us what the animal did (use of "the" before "animal").
The eighth and last sentence concludes the story with the creation of Earth.
