The Bible conveys God’s eyewitness account of history. Creation is better able to explain the scientific evidence that we examine (stars, galaxies, fossils, geological processes, etc.) in a more consistent and logical manner than interpretations based on the worldview assumptions of materialistic naturalism.

The human author of the book of Genesis is Moses, and his authorship of the Pentateuch is attested to by Jesus and the Apostles in the NT (Matthew 8:4, 19:7–7; Mark 7:10, 12:26; 1 Corinthians 9:9; 2 Corinthians 3:7). Although Genesis doesn’t explicitly say that Moses was verbally given the creation account from God directly, there are many places throughout the Pentateuch where God directly speaks to Moses (and/or the nation of Israel) several times (Exodus 16–17, 19–34, 40; Leviticus 1–8, 11–27; Numbers 1–6, 8–11, 13–15, 17–19, 25–28, 31–35; Deuteronomy 1–2, 31). And while it is also not explicitly stated, Moses may have also compiled and edited accounts written by pre-Flood eyewitnesses (e.g., Adam, Noah, Shem) and post-Flood eyewitnesses (Abraham, Jacob, Joseph) (see this article for more information)
