Christians believe that God prompted Moses to write not just Genesis chapter 1 but the whole of Genesis. Some say that God wanted the Israelites and the world in time to know about the origin of the world in which they and we find ourselves.
I am an amateur genealogist and I can appreciate this statement as I desire to know what my roots are, and in what parts of history my family tree participated in.
I truly believe in the Genesis story, from creation and on and believe it came from God himself.
Israelites and the world
The first book in the Bible was Genesis. That chapter tells us how the earth was formed. In the beginning......... The person who wrote Genesis was Moses.
40 men wrote the Bible under divine inspiration. The first Bible writer was Moses, since he wrote the first Bible book - Genesis (also called 1.Moses).
Though there is no specific text, it is generally believed (based on statements in other scriptures) that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, otherwise known as the Pentateuch (meaning "five rolls" or "fivefold volume"). He also wrote Psalm 90, and is generally credited with writing the book of Job.
The Bible was written over a period of 16 centuries, from the time that Moses wrote Genesis around 1513 BCE, to the time that John wrote 1,2,3 John in 98 CE.
David wrote many of the Psalms. A man named Asaph also wrote many. Moses, Solomon and the sons of Korah (a worship leader) also wrote some. A few are unknown writers.

No.. Moses wrote the book of Genesis

Moses.
Moses wrote the first book of the Bible - Genesis - in the wilderness.
That is the book of Exodus.AnswerMoses wrote the Torah (Deuteronomy 31:24), which contains Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

Moses wrote this statement in about 1513 B.C.E. It is believed that Genesis 1:1 occurred about 1657 B.C.E.
According to tradition, Noah recorded the events of the Flood. In its permanent form, the relevant chapters were included in the Torah at God's command when Moses wrote the scroll of the Torah. Moses wrote the book of Genesis at Mount Sinai (Exodus 24:7, Rashi commentary), which according to traditional chronology was in 1312 BCE.
Moses wrote the Pentateuch except chapter 34 was added by a different hand, Deut.31:24.
Moses is credited with being the person who gave Genesis the form we have had passed down to us. However it also appears likely that he got his material from earlier sources. Writing was known to exist well before the time of Abraham, and so it is possible he is one of Moses' sources.
