“[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.”
Colossians 1:15
Some say the Big Bang Theory is the most credible explanation of how the universe came to be. It reasons that through a process of expansion and explosion, hydrogen gas was created which led to the formation of stars, and their death (supernova) led to the creation of life.
The Bible disagrees. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible” (Hebrews 11:3). English writer and apologist G. K. Chesterton said, “It is absurd for the evolutionists to complain that it’s unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into anything.”
“The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the Unabridged Dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing factory” (Edwin Conklin, 1863-1952).
Jesus, God’s Son, has the rights to and authority over all creation.
