GENESIS

Genesis in the  Christian Bible  mentions that  God created the heavens and the earth .  In the  Qur'an , Allah created the heavens and the earth .  Also mentioned was an intimation of a  Big Bang .  And  so did  The Bible , although it is in the interpretation.

Of course, there are other religions, like the oldest one, Hindu, which goes back 4000
