In the beginning… what happened?
That is the question on many minds today. Some Christians even wonder whether to believe God created the universe, our solar system, and planet earth as Genesis records, or whether to believe the unscientific theory of evolution. We use the qualifier unscientific because the science method requires science to be observable, measurable, and observable. Evolution is not only unscientific, it is bad science. Many scholars and open-minded scientists have already come to the obvious conclusion.
But not only can you trust God’s Word that “in the beginning God created” the universe, the heavens, the earth, and everything that inhabits the earth, but you can also trust scientific discoveries that uphold a Creator God!
Not only did He create creation, as He said He did, God will one day recreate and restore His once perfect creation, including all of those who believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, by resurrecting the dead to immortal, imperishable bodies.
Here are some of the Creation promises of God:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 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. (Genesis 1:1-2)
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (Colossians 1:15-17)
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. (Hebrews 11:3)
To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, for His mercy endures forever; (Psalm 136:5)
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. (Psalm 19:1-2)
He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. (Psalm 147:4)
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. (Exodus 20:11)
