The creation story, which states that God created the world, is found in those famous bible verses in the first book of the Bible, Genesis (which means origin, creation, coming into being; Thorndike Jr. Illustrated Dictionary).

Genesis 1:1-2 (King James Version)

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

Note that the 24 hour day begins with the evening. Morning is equal to daytime.

15. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

23. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
