Genesis

Where Creation starts

Genesis is the first book of the Bible, recounting the creation of the world, Adam and Eve, Noah's flood, and the origins of the Israelites through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The name means "origin" or "beginning." Genesis also refers to the British rock band fronted by Peter Gabriel and later Phil Collins. (Lowercase genesis means origin or beginning.)
