Genesis 1:1–5
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 And the earth became formless and empty; and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water. 3 And God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light day, and the darkness night. And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Genesis 1:26–31
26 And God said, “Let Us make humanity in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the animals, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 And God created humanity in the image of God; He created him; male and female He created them. 28 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea and over the animals, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every animal, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with fruit yielding seed; it shall be your food; 30 and to every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, in which there is a living soul, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that He had made; and behold, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 2:7
And God formed humanity from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his face the breath of life, and the human became a living soul.
Genesis 2:18–24
18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” 19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He brought them to Adam to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, then He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib He had taken out of the man, and He brought her to the man. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” 24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
Psalm 33:6–9
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of His mouth. 7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; He puts the deep into storehouses. 8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere Him, 9 for He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
John 1:1–3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.
Colossians 1:16–17
16 For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that the worlds were formed by the spoken word of God, so that what is seen was made from what is invisible.
Job 38:4–7
4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. 5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the measuring line over it? 6 On what were its foundations set, or who laid its cornerstone, 7 when the morning stars sang together and all the angels of God shouted for joy?
Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
