The Creation
God's initial work
The Creation refers to the origin of the universe and all existence, particularly as described in religious accounts.
In Jewish and Christian tradition, it designates God's creation of the world as told in Genesis—the six days of work followed by rest.
The term carries theological weight, implying a deliberate act by a creator rather than natural processes: The Creation narrative has shaped Western thought for millennia.
In music, The Creation often refers to Haydn's oratorio depicting the Genesis account.
