The answer
God is one in essence, and His Three Hypostases are distinct in operation. If the Father decided creating the world, the Son is the One Who would carry out the act of creation, and the Holy Spirit would give life to the matter.
God is He Who created the Earth and all that is therein, from beings that are visible and invisible, as well as angels who are invisible.
God is the Creator, and none can attain His ability (Job 12:7-9; Neh. 9:6).
Verses from Holy Scripture demonstrate the participation of the Hypostases in creation:
God the Father as Creator: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1).
God the Son as Creator: “All things were made through Him; and without Him w nothing was made that was made” (John 1:3).
God the Holy Spirit as Creator: “Thou shalt send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created” (Ps. 104:30 LXX).
