I can understand the problem that everyone facing here with the "lower part" and "upper part". Its not about the upper part or lower part, the last line suggests that god created humans. So the sentence that comes before it would be S as it describes the creation of animals. Animals are living things so are humans.

We consider from outer to inner.
First universe, then earth, then creatures.

Because S is related to S6. See sentence S-.
"The god created the 'earth'. ".
And earth is related to people. See sentence S6-.
" The god molded the first 'people' out of clay. ".
So, S and S6 have some relation that's why S will come before S6.
"The god created the 'earth'. ".
And earth is related to people. See sentence S6-.
" The god molded the first 'people' out of clay. ".
So, S and S6 have some relation that's why S will come before S6.

@ALL.
Consider it through example. To grow a plant you take a pot full of sand first (universe with stars) then you plant seed (earth).
Or otherwise, universe must be constructed first so that earth can come into a picture.
