Genesis 1:1 and Creation

Genesis 1:1  "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

In the beginning of what?  The beginning of the physical universe?  The beginning of the spiritual universe?  It is the beginning of all things created, even time.


According to the Bible, God created all things.  Of necessity, this includes things like gravity, wind, and time.  Sounds crazy?  Stephen Hawking, an admitted non-Christian and known believer in the Big Bang theory, verifies what the Bible implies.  Here's a quote from an article Mr. Hawking placed online regarding this:  "In this lecture, I would like to discuss whether time itself has a beginning, and whether it will have an end. All the evidence seems to indicate, that the universe has not existed forever, but that it had a beginning, about 15 billion years ago. This is probably the most remarkable discovery of modern cosmology." (1)  Although Stephen Hawking did not believe in a Creator, even he backs up Scripture.


In March 2018, Hawking seems to backtrack on this stating, concerning time:  "It was always reaching closer to nothing but didn't become nothing."(2)  Did Mr. Hawking sense an error in his own conclusions on time once he considered the implications of it?  The change in stance suggests Mr. Hawking saw scientific validity in the idea a Creator with regards to time and decided to change his mind.


Next part:  "God created the heaven and the earth."  Sounds simple enough.  God created space and earth.  But what about evolution?  Doesn't that prove the Bible isn't scientifically accurate and that God doesn't exist?


No, it doesn't.  The problem that evolution has is that it teaches that all things are self-created.  This is completely destroyed when it runs up against the law of conservation of energy. (3)  This states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but merely transformed from one substance to another, or transferred from one location to another.  The problem that evolutionists run into is that it can't explain where the energy came from in the first place.  Thus there is only one solution for them:  Admit that all matter, which is energy, came from outside the physical universe, that it came from a non-physical source.  The only option now is that the energy source is spiritual in nature.


Another problem with a self-creating, or quantum mechanically created universe is Isaac Newton's Third Law:  "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".(4)  According to proponents of the Big Bang theory, all matter in the universe was contained in one infinitesimally small dot, an atom.(5)  At some point, an explosion of infinite power happened in the center of this "atom" and cast all forms of energy across the universe, not to mention expanding the universe itself.  The problem with this idea is equilibrium, otherwise known as Newton's Third Law.  Equilibrium is defied as "A state of rest or balance due to the equal action of opposing forces."(6)  With equilibrium in play, the Big Bang theory becomes nothing more than an uninflated balloon, because the infinitely dense concentration of matter contained in the size of the atom would have cancelled out the infinitely powerful explosion, resulting in absolutely nothing happening.
