Did the World Just “Blow Up” and Appear?
Question:
Dear Digger Doug,
Why do people believe the world just blew up and life just appears out of nowhere?
Answer:
Dear Madelyn,
If a person doesn’t believe what the Bible teaches about how the Universe came into existence, that person runs into a huge problem. Where did everything come from? Some people used to believe that the Universe had no beginning; it just always existed. Science proved that theory wrong. When that theory was shown to be false, people who rejected the Bible’s Creation account came up with another theory about the origin of the Universe. They argued that the Universe was created when a tiny ball of matter exploded, in what is now called the “Big Bang.” Many of these same people also believe that all life came from non-living chemicals. You might ask: What caused the Big Bang? How can life come from non-life? Good questions! People are forced to invent incorrect explanations since they reject the Bible. Do you know what’s not an incorrect explanation for the origin of the Universe? … “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).
