Well, it seems we like to make things “isms” and such, so I think this would be a thought on creationism.
It is said by some that the world came into being in a violent bang! A bang that hurled everything around us into existence. I suppose to some degree they are correct! There was in fact great violent, and things did really explode into existence!
God alone existed before the world and Universe around us. God speaking to Himself decided to create those things that we see. The beginning in the bibles account of creation does not refer to God, He was already there, has been forever. Hard to fathom but we must simply accept this by faith. The beginning refers to the beginning of the things that we see. The bible after all is not written for God’s benefit, it is written for our benefit. So in the beginning God…
There was no light, no matter, no energy. To this point we agree with the big bang THEORISTS. Here we separate, The bang that came was not of of chance from nothing. The bang that came was God’s voice saying “let there be light.” Imagine the violent bang as light came into existence for the very first time. It’s hard to imagine, nay impossible, but have you ever been in a dark room just relaxing only to have someone turn on the light. It is an outright assault to the eyes, and even the other senses. An act of violence! A bang!
God would go on according to His word, the bible, to speak, and matter exploding into existence for the first time.
The full account of the creation is found in the very first chapter of Genesis. It is God’s commentary of what happened that week. He alone was there for the whole event, He alone has the full story. He alone set into place all matter that we see around us. He alone put the stars into their places. He was the source and director of the Big Bang that brought everything into existence. He teaches in the bible that He also keeps all of creation, which means that He keeps it together, just as He wants it to be.
He teaches us that He created us for His pleasure, and everything else was created for us. What a great God. He wants us to have all the great things that this earth has to offer. We often forget that we were not created for the world, as many would have us believe today.
