Right from its very first words, the Bible puts us on notice that “in the beginning God Created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). We read further in (Hebrews 11:3): “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.”
Evolutionists quickly run into problems in trying to explain origins. They contend that we evolved from simpler life forms, which over great expanses of time became more and more complex until humanity came about. They can offer us no clues, however, as to where the original inanimate matter came from.
Scientific theories such as the Big Bang bring us a little closer to the ultimate beginning of the universe. They, at least, postulate that somehow there was some sort of matter in existence, before it became everything. But, on logical grounds alone, the Bible goes the final step by acknowledging “that what is seen (our universe) was not made out of things which are visible.”
In other words, there was nothing there to start with except God. But to have made a universe of such incredible size, amazing complexity, perfect orderliness, fabulous mysteries, and awesome beauty would have required a force of indescribable creative genius, possessing unlimited power and intellect that no finite mind (such as we possess) could ever completely fathom. The above description basically defines the God of the Bible, who created the stars, planets, mountains, trees, animals and, yes, you and me. You are clearly here because God created you—not by chance, but by deliberate design.
The Psalmist beautifully described this process and offered praise and thanksgiving to God:
For thou didst form my inward parts; thou didst weave me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Thy works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from Thee, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Thy book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them. (Psalm 139:13-16)
A worldview that is built on denial and suppression of truth will lead to the Evolutionist’s motto:
Nobody x Nothing = Everything.
There are no atheists, but liars who deny the existence of God.
Hi Curt…I also love John 1….In the beginning was the Word. He was with God, and He was God. He created everything that exists. Nothing exists that He did not make. Life itself was in Him. THAT SETTLES IT FOR ME!
