Genesis 1:1-31 (KJV)
In the Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
John 1:1-5 (KJV)
Jesus Was With God in the Beginning
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Psalms 19:1-6
The Heavens and Skies Speak of God's Knowledge
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
Jeremiah 33:25-26 (KJV)
God Set Up the Ordinances of the Universe
25 Thus saith the Lord; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
This week I have seen on the news and read where the universe has space ripples and gravitation waves that were created 13.8 billion years ago...I think they try to measure these things by light and the speed of light, but I really do not know...It seems these things would be very difficult to measure accurately...To many believers of the Big Bang Theory this will prove to them that the earth and universe did have a beginning...There are others who have believed, and maybe still do, that the universe has always existed...Those that believe in this, believe that universe has always and forever has been here...But those who believe in the Big Bang Theory, believe all of a sudden the stars and the light from the stars, just came on...The stars were just turned on one night...The universe has these fixed laws of physics, and these laws and ordinances are fixed in the universe, the heavens, and the earth...I do not know what the chances are that the earth and heavens have these universal laws and fixed laws, and what chances the stars just popping on one night is, and that I am writing about all these things, but I would bet the odds of these things happening are astronomical...It is hard for me to believe that the universe formed and my writing about them are just by an accident, called the Big Bang...
In reading the Bible, we are told that their was a beginning to the world and to the universe...And God was there in the beginning...And so was Jesus...The Psalmist writes that the heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies proclaim the work of His hand...As I look to the sky and to those things around me, I do believe, that day after day they do put pour forth a speech; and night after night the moon and stars display a kind of knowledge...There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard...And we often think God is not heard, but His voice is heard...It is heard when we look up and around and see these things...They voice His glory...And it is natural to see creation as some kind of mystery...The sun, the moon, and the stars are everywhere as we look up...The stars, the skies and heavens speak of God...Their voice does go out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the entire world...In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming forth from His pavilion, like a Champion rejoicing to run His course...It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat...God speaks and is seen through these things...
I do believe there is a beginning to creation and that God and Jesus were there...I believe that God has established these physical laws of nature in the universe...These are part of His universal truths...I believe that in every creation, there is a Creator...God reveals Himself through His creation and through His book, the Bible...I believe that the Lord did set a covenant of the day and night...I believe that He has appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth...The sun, the moon, the stars the heavenly bodies, just like the seasons are fixed by the Creator...
And finally, I do believe that one night God decided to turn the stars on -just like that, and so He did...He spoke...
