Many passages show us that Jesus Christ and the apostles fully accepted the Genesis account of the creation. Christ 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 Beginning of the 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).
Many are surprised to learn that the BibleThe books (Greek, "biblia" ) that are acknowledged as canonical (authoritative) by the early Christian Church. It includes both the books of the ancient Hebrew prophets and those of the apostolic witnesses to Jesus Christ. reveals Christ as the Creator! More than once the apostle Paul explained to early Christians that God had 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 had 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 general tenor of Peter's last letter tell us that he, too, believed in creation (see 2 Peter 3:4-7 in particular).
