Many Christians believe God used the big bang to create the universe. But did you know the order of events in Genesis contradicts the big bang?

According to the big bang, stars evolved long before our planet. But Scripture says God created earth on day one and the stars on day four.

And in the big bang, earth was supposedly originally a hot molten blob that slowly cooled so water could collect. But in Genesis, earth was created covered in water.

If God used the big bang, the order of events given in Genesis is utterly meaningless. Why would he record it for us in that order if it didn’t happen that way?

God didn’t use the big bang!
