Why does Genesis not mention the creation of fire?

Scientists say that fire, in the form as we have it on planet earth is hardly seen in any other part of the universe. One of the earliest references to fire in OT is Gen 22:6 : > And Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. < Of course, fire has been and is vital to the survival of human life, whether in the form of light or heat. But then, we do not find Genesis mentioning the creation of fire . How do Bible scholars interpret the absence of such a reference ?
