Gen 1:1 (Ref 191)

In the beginning – TIME

God created – SPACE

The earth – MATTER.

We cannot know for sure when the earth was created, but one thing is sure God is the creator of the earth. The heavens declare the glory of God. The sun is 93 million miles away from earth. If the sun was 1 mile closer we would burn. If it was 1 mile further away we would freeze. The sun is the exact distance and position from the earth to sustain life. This fact alone is evidence that the creator of the earth is God.

Gen 1:2 (Ref 69)

The world was without meaning and purpose until God gave it meaning and purpose.
