“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).
It was not in the beginning an impersonal force created things. It was not chance that created things. It was not aliens that created things. There is no god except the Triune Lord who created things. God alone has the creative activity to make things out of nothing. God did not order preexisting material. But God is eternal and transcendent. The Genesis narrative is fully consistent with creation ex nihilo.
The author of creation is God (Hebrews 11:3), Christ (Colossians 1:16, 17) and the Holy Spirit (Psalm 104:30). The objects of creation were heaven and earth, vegetation, animals, man and stars. It means that God is divine because He created. He has deity, power, glory, goodness, wisdom and sovereignty. It illustrates the new birth, renewal of believers and the eternal world.
The foundations of foundations and the cores of cores is that God created. It is a unique God existed before the universe was created. He is the eternal omnipotent Creator. The absolute order of the universe is God. The cosmogony of paganism or modern naturalism is absent in regards to the origin of the universe. They state that the universe already existed in chaos and somehow it evolved later on. The evolution comes out of nothing into a “big bang.” God is absent from the modern evolutionists’ theory. To add God to be apart of evolution has no place in the Bible. We recognize an historic Adam. God created man but man did not evolve from lower forms of life.
