The books of The Bible could never provide actual proof of creation, as they were written by men who were obviously not around at the time of creation. However, they do prove that people believed that God created everything. People say they were inspired by God, but this simply creates a need to find proof that they were inspired.

There are two different accounts of creation in the Book of Genesis (1:1-2:4a and 2:4b-25). Their very difference argues against either of them being true accounts and therefore proof of creation, although Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that pious readers, believing that the text cannot contain contradictions, ignore the major disjunctions between the two creation stories and tend to treat the second story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man.

There are fragments of a quite primitive account of creation in the Psalms and the Book of Job, based on a probably older oral tradition than either of the accounts in Genesis.
