And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
It's a figure of speech to say the water was gathered together, as if water molecules are all huddling close to keep warm. The water is in a basin, or a gigantic dish in the surface of the ground. Gravity keeps it in there. God didn't gather together water----God fashioned a dish, and then the water stayed there in the dish. That is definitely what God did, but the Scripture says He gathered together the water, like a shepherd gathering together the flock. It's a figure of speech.

@JudgeRightly : What's your take on, "This is My body" and "This is My blood"? I already know
@annabenedetti 's take, she's consistent, it's all allegory and symbolism. I'm the opposite, I take them wooden and literally. God created, in six days.
