In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep,
and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. God saw that the light was good;
and God separated the light from the darkness. – Genesis 1:1-4
En el principio Dios creó los cielos y la tierra.
La tierra estaba sin orden y vacía, y las tinieblas cubrían la superficie del abismo,
y el Espíritu de Dios se movía sobre la superficie de las aguas.
Entonces dijo Dios: «Sea la luz». Y hubo luz. Dios vio que la luz era buena;
y Dios separó la luz de las tinieblas. – Génesis 1:1-4
The truth is that God brought all things into existence – the universe, Earth, Sun, Moon, stars, planets, and galaxies. He did this by simply speaking His Word (Gen. 1:3)! Imagine the awesome power in such words! This is recorded in the very first verses of the Bible. Everything we see around us in this physical universe was created out of “spiritual” things we cannot see by God as it is written: “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” (Heb. 11:3), “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:24), and “Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is [He exists] and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him” (Heb. 11:6). Amazing! Look at the wonderful creation we see around us, perfectly suited for sustaining human life. Additionally, God’s initial creation was perfect (Gen. 1:31) – the disasters, disease, sin, suffering, and death we see around us were caused by man who disobeyed God (Gen. 3), not by God! The “Theory of Evolution” false teaching/fake science (notice it’s not called the “Facts of Evolution”) causes many to disbelieve in God and doubt the Bible – before they even begin to read it! The very real forces of evil know that if you don’t believe the first sentence(s) of the Bible, you will not read or believe the rest! But be not deceived.
