Genesis = the origin, creation, or beginning of something.
Many people believe that the genesis of the world was created by God.
Generate: to bring into existence; cause to be; produce.
The solar energy can generate electricity.

Good try, Panteha. But watch your subject-verb agreement.
Good try, Linelle. But if generation means "creation", then your sentence says "the creation of the world" was created, which is a little awkward.
Well done, HJL and Jacqueline.
