    I found out that scientifically a week originates from the four phases of the moon with-in the month. Like new moon, first quarter, full moon and last quarter.

    The concept of the 7 day week seems to begin with the creation story in Genesis, where it is said that God created all in six days and on the seventh day he rested.
