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.

Scientific Fallacy of the Big Bang Theory and Evolution

By:  Marshall Ramsey II

Growing up in 20th century America, in a moderately Christian household (I lived with my mother and younger brother; my parents were divorced), brought up in the public school system, I have been told all my life that stories of gods, goddesses, giants, flying saucers, and places like Atlantis (my mom believed Atlantis existed), were all fictional.  I believed what I was told without question.  As a child, I simply took what I was being told by adults as the truth, never questioning what I was being told, even though I was given no proof of their fallacy.  It simply did not occur to me that these adults that I trusted all my life would not be correct.  Then I started looking for myself.

After nearly four decades on this planet, and having gained some life experience in the process, I have come to discover that a lot of the assumptions about the history of our planet and the mythologies concerning it come from a misguided belief that there is no such thing as deity.  After all, evolutionary science declares that the universe created itself out of nothing, into nothing.  Unfortunately for evolutionary/Big Bang scientists, it is SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE that the universe could have been created from nothing, that all the energy in the universe could have not existed one moment and then existed the very next.  That all things "visible and invisible"(1) should be created by deity is not only scientific, Big Bang/evolutionary science even testifies to the existence of deity.

Take, for example, the origin of the planets.  Evolution states that all life on this planet came from the reaction of water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen with lightning.(2)  That not withstanding, the origin of those chemicals on planet Earth, and indeed the origin of Earth itself, originates with the Big Bang.(3)  This states that all things within the physical universe had a common beginning, including life on earth.

Problems with this now arise.  In order for the Big Bang theory to be scientifically correct, it must explain how the energy used in the creation/birth of the universe came into being.  There are two choices:  Either the energy created itself or it was pre-existent, that is, the energy used in the creation of the universe existed in some form before the Big Bang.

The Big Bang theory as was taught in schools in the 1980's stated that all matter in the universe came from nothing.  The problem with this is that the law of conservative energy prevents this.  This states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed; only a change of form is possible.(4)  While this was widely accepted for a time, when put to science, it crumbled.  Big Bang/evolutionary scientists had to admit that matter, which is different forms of energy, could not create itself, so they chose to say that the energy used in the creation/birth of the universe came from outside it.

This presents another problem for the Big Bang/evolutionary scientist.  If it first did not in the physical universe, then it must have existed outside the physical universe.  Here we have yet another problem for the Big Bang/evolutionary scientist/believer.  Making this statement suggests that there is something beyond the physical universe, a state of existence outside of the realm of flesh and blood, the only possible thing that could be talked about would be a spirit realm.

One could make the claim that the energy used in the creation of the universe came from another universe, however, each time this is done, it automatically excludes the possibility of a realm where spirits; angels, devils/demons, and yes, God, exists.(4)  When this is done, it can be summed up as energy shifting from one physical universe to another universe.  The problem here is that persons that believe in the Big Bang theory and evolution come up against is that energy is a substance without intelligence.  Energy cannot move or change form without speaking of intelligence.

Another problem (and the last that I am going to address here) is the size and age of the universe.  Current Big Bang/evolutionary science states that the universe is approximately 13.7 billion years old.(4)(5)  It is also currently estimated that the size of the universe is 28 billion parsecs, or 93 billion light years across (A light year is the distance that light travels in a year).(6)(7)

Herein lies another fatal flaw in Big Bang and Evolution origins of the universe.  Light travels at a speed of 299,792,458 meters per second.  In the American equivalent, this would be 186282396mi 669.65yd per second.

A parsec is 3.26 light years.(8)  Given this information. the amount of energy needed to send matter from one end of the universe to the other would be so great that matter would be propelled at more than 5 times the speed of light.  The problem with this is that according to Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity, matter increases in mass the faster it travels.(9)  If this be the case, then the gravity generated by the resistance of the object being propelled would cause the object to cease to exist in its current form, being either disintegrated into atomic and sub-atomic particles, or super-compacted into something else.  In either case, without intelligence, travel beyond the speed of light is impossible.
