Many passages show us that Jesus Christ and His apostles fully accepted the Genesis account of the creation.
Jesus talked about "the beginning of the creation which God created" (Mark 13:19; see also Matthew 24:21).
He once asked some who questioned Him: "Have you not read that He who made them [Adam and Eve] at the beginning "made them male and female'?" (Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6). Later the resurrected Christ referred to Himself as "the Originator of God's creation" (RevelationThe disclosure of God's Word and plan to mankind. In the Bible this refers to making obscure things clear; bringing hidden matters to light; causing especially called individuals to see, hear, perceive, know and understand the things of God; the unveiling of biblical mysteries (Romans 16:25). 3:14, Holman Christian Standard BibleThe books (Greek, "biblia" ) that are acknowledged as canonical (authoritative) by the early Christian Church.

The apostle John stated at the beginning of His GospelThe good news of God's everlasting kingdom to be established on earth after Christ's return and how we may be a part of that kingdom. This message was central to the teaching of Jesus Christ and the apostles. The term is used about 100 times in the New Testament . that the divine Word by whom everything exists was the One who became Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3, 14). More than once the apostle Paul explained to early Christians that God created all things by Jesus Christ (Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:16). Hebrews 1:2 tells us that God "has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, . . . through whom also He made the worlds."
Paul also told the Athenians that God made all nations "from one blood" (Acts 17:26)—all are descendants of Adam and Eve. Paul believed all that was written in the Law and the Prophets (Acts 24:14), including the creation accounts.
Finally, both the specifics and the tenor of Peter's last letter tell us that he, too, believed in biblical creation (see 2 Peter 3:4-7 in particular).
