Psalms 104:24 O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. 30 You send forth Your Spirit, they are created: and You renew the face of the earth.
God can begin with a mere thought, and then speak that thought into literal existence, as He has done on numerous occasions. Let us think about that for a moment, because there is a valid reason why God alone is to be worshipped, and the Scripture most often cites His creative power as the main reason why.
His singular ability to speak His thoughts into virtual reality sets God apart, in an entirely different class by Himself, for there is no one else in the universe that can even come close to achieving this. This also means that creating from scratch, with God, would also include starting with absolutely nothing.
Science finds this particular pill extremely difficult to swallow, and indeed it is a stretch, because finite minds cannot come to grips with such capabilities on their own, hence the reason why the Bible says that he who comes to God “Must Believe”. Science is baffled and oft dumbfounded by what the Bible says about God’s singular ability to create. As was stated previously, it is true that God often uses preexisting materials to do the work of creating but these very materials had to come from somewhere originally.
Isaiah 40:18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? 28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
