The first record of the act of creation comes from the book of Genesis in the Bible. In the opening verses of Genesis, we read that “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) This is the account that has been passed down through the generations, and it is the record that we have of the first act of creation.
It should be noted that there are other accounts of creation that come from other sources, such as the ancient Sumerian account or the account from the Hopi Indians. However, the Genesis account is the first record that we have of the act of creation.
