Creation Ex Nihilo

As we continue to study nature, evidence strengthens supporting the idea that something which has always existed created all the space, matter, time, and energy which is our universe.

Here is a link to a blog I wrote several years ago:  http://natureandscripture.blogspot.com/2014/02/big-bang-cosmology-christian-creation.html

Dr. Jeff Zweerink from Reasons to Believe recently wrote an article on this topic:

“Where everyone [conclusions of scientists] seems to agree is that the beginning of our universe requires the existence of something that can generate the universe! In order to prevent an infinite regress of things, these models posit something that simply exists (without a beginning). Stated in more philosophical terms, these “somethings” are self-existent because their existence does not depend on anything else. Additionally, these self-existent things also have the capacity to cause other things (like universes) to exist. In other words, they are causal agents. All these models purport to explain the entirety of the universe in a self-contained manner.”[1]

The parallel between big bang cosmology and what the Bible teaches is astounding. Christian theology teaches that all space, matter, time, and energy were created out of nothing by God and this teaching was around thousands of years before science “discovered” it!
