Creation

We have only a couple of TV channels here in Florida. Last night PBS had a show on telescopes, the galaxies and theories of creation.

The more I see of the universe and how large creation is, the more in awe of God I become. Two things that hit me during the show were that they have found billions of galaxies and they said the stars number more than all the grains of sand on the earth. The other is that space is continually expanding or growing. What bothered me, was that after seeing the most amazing, awesome evidence of God, as the creator, many scientists and others try to explain it away.

Romans 1: 18-22 says,  “¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, ¹⁹ because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. ²⁰ For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, ²¹ because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. ²² Professing to be wise, they became fools,” (NKJV)

During last night’s show they discussed “The Big Bang Theory” as a way to explain creation. This theory is based on everything starting from a single explosion.

I will not go into detail but, I will say that I sort of agree. What I want to know is who lit the match or pulled the trigger? Bang! And what existed before existence?

Genesis 1:1-5 says, “¹In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
³ Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. ⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. ⁵ God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day….”(NLT)

He (God) spoke, and galaxies whirled into places, stars burned the heavens, and planets began orbiting their suns-words of awesome, unlimited, unleashed power. He spoke again, and the waters and lands were filled with plants and creatures, running, swimming growing, and multiplying-words of animating, breathing, pulsing life. Again he spoke, and man and woman were formed, thinking, and loving-words of personal and creative glory. Eternal, infinite, unlimited-he was, is, and always will be the Maker and Lord of all that exists. (Life Application Study Bible – commentary)

John 1:1-5  “¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. ⁴ In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (NLT)

Now I’m not a rocket scientist and I can’t fully understand how, by God’s Word, all things are created, but I know that I know. 

In Jesus Name, Amen
