Can You Justify Biblical Creation?

 

1. Even science acknowledges a beginning (the Big Bang)
2. Matter/energy/time all began about 13.7 billion years ago accordingly and not contradictory to the Bible
3. If there was a beginning, there must be a Beginner or cause behind it
4. Creation implies a Creator (order an Orderer, purpose a Purposer, etc.)
5. The Bible doesn’t say when the beginning was or when the earth was created but only “in the beginning,” there is a gap between Gen. 1:1 and Gen. 1:2 that is an unspecified amount of time
6. The so-called six days of creation could be interpreted as epochs or episode, not necessarily 24-hour days; to God, a day can be a thousand years, for example, or a period of time (the day of the LORD)
7. The Bible doesn’t tell how things happened but that God made them happen at His word by the breath of His mouth
8. The Big Bang or creation is an event; all events require explanations and have causes
9. Everything that begins to exist (creation) has a cause; that cause is most likely God—the First Cause (infinite regress is impossible)
10. Science cannot explain many things and doesn’t have all the answers, such as the mystery of life and its origin.    Soli Deo Gloria!
