'Creation' in the Bible

For from the creation of the world, his invisible [attributes], both his eternal power and deity, are discerned clearly, being understood in the things created, so that they are without excuse.

who exchanged the truth of God with a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed for eternity. Amen.

For the eagerly expecting creation awaits eagerly the revelation of the sons of God.

For the creation has been subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of the one who subjected [it], in hope

that the creation itself also will be set free from its servility to decay, into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation groans together and suffers agony together until now.
