Genesis 1:1 says that “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” There are many that deny this fact by talking about other “scientific” solutions as to how the world came to be. On one hand Conservative Christians believe that God spoke the earth into existence. At the other end of the spectrum some say that there was a giant interstellar explosion, called the “big bang.” What is the truth? Is it either of these or something else. Genesis states that God created everything in six days beginning with the heavens and the earth on day one. If we agree on that, doesn’t either option work, or can both work? Could God have spoken the earth into existence (Psalm 33:8-9) using a “big bang?” There are things that we don't know because as God says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9)
