Take the existence of the universe. To call it the result of an accident raises many questions—and answers none. The same is true of the Big Bang theory. Where, for instance, did the raw materials come from? Not even a big bang can make something out of nothing! The evolutionary idea is wide spread, but just as weak; how can nothing evolve into something, let alone earth’s amazingly complex life forms?

All other theories are equally fragile. The only satisfactory explanation is this:” In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”. Our world is not the random result of a gigantic fluke involving ingredients that were always there. Instead, “the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” Creation had a beginning, and it was God who brought it into being. “He spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.”
