« Au commencement, Dieu créa les cieux et la terre » déclare que tout ce qui existe doit son existence à Dieu. Avant qu'il y ait un univers, Dieu était déjà là, et c'est lui qui, délibérément, a tout fait.

What it means

The Bible opens not with an argument for God but with an announcement: God is already there, and he creates. “The heavens and the earth” is a way of saying “everything,” the whole ordered cosmos.

The verse sets the foundation for everything that follows: the world is not an accident, it belongs to its Maker, and human beings live in a universe that has a purpose because it has an Author.

Common questions
Does Genesis 1:1 say how long creation took?

Verse 1 simply states that God created everything. Christians hold different views on the timing and process described in the rest of the chapter, but all affirm that God is the Creator.
