Is there any way to search for the number of mentions or allusions or references there are in the Bible to the story of creation?

    You can use the Intertext label in a Bible Search:

    intertext:source:bible:"Genesis 1–2"   ---> which will show NT references to creation in Gen 1 and Gen 2.

    You could refine the range e,g,  "Genesis 1:1–2:9"

    But you can use a Bible Search like:

    bible:"Genesis 1–2"

    This will find cross-references to that passage in bibles like ESV, NABRE, NET, CSB, NIV2011. You should restrict the range to NT or books other than Genesis.

    EDIT: It is interesting that culture:"The Creation"  shows all of Gen 1-2 as "mentions".

    I haven't checked for completeness but a Bible Search for culture:"The Creation" is helpful
