What did Michelangelo paint on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?

Each section of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling shows a different biblical situation. The main theme expresses humanity's need for Jesus and God for their salvation. The paintings show different stories and themes from the Bible, like Adam and Eve being cast out by God from the Garden of Eden. And one of the most famous sections is called "The Creation of Adam" and shows God reaching out and touching Adam with his finger. This section is only rivaled by the famous "Mona Lisa" in terms of notoriety and precision. Most of the content comes from the book of Genesis, which tells the story of God's creation of the Earth. Other subject matter includes the story of Noah.
