In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth
The Bible says, “In the beginning God.” If you eliminate God, you have a big problem. Then what do you have? A mass of gases floating in space? That is not the beginning. Where did the mass of gases come from? Where did space come from? The universe is not here by accident, but by design. Many so-called experts tell us that earth came into being because of an accidental compression of gases and explosions that cooled off and formed a particular planet with special atmospheric conditions just right for life—the planet earth. It just happened that way. It would be ridiculous if I were to suggest to you that a 747 aircraft was built not by a crew of engineers and technicians, but by a tornado sweeping through a junkyard, which created this magnificent aircraft. If you can accept Genesis 1:1, the rest of the Bible will unfold for you. For more about God at Work, see Gen. 1:27, 28.
