In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1
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.
Colossians 1:16
God was from the very beginning; before anything else, before time and space, and before matter and energy, there was God. That is the starting point, not earth, not the universe. They came from God, not God from them, so you start with God. He is the giver. He is the origin. He is Creator.
An atom can be weighed and a scientist knows how many nanos are in a second. The starting point is what is known. From there, the unknown can be extrapolated.
An Indian arrowhead is nothing more than an odd shaped piece of flint. Each one of the hundred or so chips out of the rock could be formed by a random act of erosion, yet no educated person would conclude that is what happened. The size, shape, symmetry, balance, and material allude to utility and function. The logical conclusion is that it was made by someone smarter than the rock itself.
To say that the universe started with a Big Bang and gravity and forces of nature formed it into what we can observe now is ludicrous. Whatever was the supposed core of the Big Bang was never observed, measured, or reproduced in the laboratory. It’s unknown. What actually can be proved is nothing comes from nothing. If matter didn’t exist before the Big Bang, then gravity, inertia, and energy didn’t exist either. Scientists are forced to say that someone or something was out there before the universe existed, but whatever it was, they don’t want to acknowledge Jesus as God.
Without trying to prove that God exists, the Bible states a simple fact: “God created the heavens and the earth.” We can also see in scripture that Jesus Christ is God (John 1:1; Romans 9:5; 1 Timothy 1:17; 3:16, etc.). Therefore, if God is Creator and Christ is God, then Christ is also Creator. As Colossians 1:16 confirms, “All things were created through Him and for Him.”
