Transcript

The Bible describes creation as a supernatural event. God spoke and things came into being. One verse describes creation as “by his wisdom, power, and understanding.” Scripture is clear that creation shows the power and glory of the Creator.

Now, many Christians believe that God used the big bang to create. After all, someone had to get the process started, right?

Well, the Bible never describes creation as something God just started or directed. No, he created instantly by his powerful Word. To say that God just started the big bang and maybe directed things as they developed ignores how God describes creation.
