Creation

/kriˈeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

Creation is the act of bringing something into existence, or the thing that has been made; in religion, it can mean the making of the universe.

Etymology

From Latin “creatio,” from “creare” (to create, bring forth). It has long been used in both everyday and religious senses.

Kelly Says

A ‘creation’ can be as small as a sandwich or as huge as the cosmos, and the same word covers both. That range shows how humans see making things—from crafts to galaxies—as one continuous kind of miracle.
