I guess this is some form of light humor?? (it's actually a somewhat
interesting question).  If you look at the account, the expanse set in
the midst of the waters wasn't declared good, the creation of darkness
wasn't declared good and neither was the creation of the stars just of
the moona and the sun.  Whether Moses was actually just saving space (
:-) ) or there is some actual, superordinate grouping to the creation
events, I'm not sure.
