Shadows Dancing On A Wall

The idea that everything came out of nothing is an assault upon reason. Since creation is often presented this way as a straw-man argument by the opponents of faith, many thinking people fall for this siren song of secularism. But that isn't what the Bible presents. In the beginning, in Genesis we're told that God called all things in this physical reality into being out of nothing physical. This reality did not exist before God willed it to be here. God said, "Let there be," and there is. But this doesn't mean that everything came out of nothing. In the letter to the Hebrews Paul put it this way, "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." It was God's word and His faith in His word that created everything. And it's God's faith that sustains all that we see. Ponder for a moment the incredibly complex relationship between the physical reality and our perception of it. The computer screen you're reading this article on is made up of more empty space than matter. As is the table or desk it's sitting on. As are you and I. From the dark matter and dark energy that scientists theorize makes up the vast majority of the Space-time continuumto the sub-atomic world which goes as far in as the stellar expanse goes out this physical reality is actually tiny bits of matter held together by invisible forces.
