created = the action, the work, the "what" that happening

the heavens = stars, but not just the stars, but this term is also correct to talk about all the galaxies and worlds and black holes, and dust, and comets, and all the other stuff....this is listed as being the first thing that is created in this universe, and the single correct word in the Bible to talk about all this stuff up there, is "the heavens"

and the earth = listed 2nd it becomes the center of the rest of the story. The book of Genesis is about a book of this earth,,,its an earth-centered story....It may also be interesting to note that science tells us that worlds such as our earth are actually created out of the left-overs of other dying stars,,,and it is interesting that the earth is listed after the heavens in the genesis account as well.


That is where the Bible says the earth is from at Genesis 1:1
