Where Did Everything
Come From?

How did we get here? Is The “Big Bang” Theory Credible?


Would you believe me if I told you my wristwatch had no maker?
Then listen to my story.


The Big Bang!

One morning I was strolling. To save time, I took a detour through a junkyard. About halfway through, I heard a big bang. Thousands of pieces of junk, small and large, began flying about me in a chaotic fashion. There was utter confusion. When the big bang settled, I glanced down and there at my feet laid an imposing, lovely wristwatch—band and all. During the commotion, numerous pieces of metal merged and formed what I now carry on my left wrist. Other pieces of metal fashioned additional items, all exquisite and perfectly shaped. And all this as a result of the big bang.

You probably doubt my story. You will likely retort, “There is no design without a designer, or a product without a manufacturer, or a drawing without an artist, or a painting without a painter, or an invention without an inventor. Therefore, your ‘big bang’ didn’t happen.”

I agree. Now consider the universe. It is a vast array of heavenly bodies, each functioning in its own orderly fashion. Truly, then, the universe is a design, a plan, and a charming creation. But since there can be no design without a designer, or a plan without a planner, or a creation without a creator, we are forced to conclude that the universe is the product of a supernatural Designer—God. And so we have the following announcements:


“In the beginning (of time) God created the heavens (universe) and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible” (Heb. 11:3).

Ascribe All Wonders To Deity
These ancient affirmations say nothing about a “Big Bang” creation. I do not strenuously object to the “Big Bang” theory, and it’s only a theory, as long as we ascribe it to the God of creation. We don’t know precisely the mechanics of our universe and its creation. We know only that a Supernatural Being is its founder and framer.

But what about all of the so-called scientific “evidence” that points to a “Big Bang?” Scientific “findings” must coincide with heaven’s testimony, not the reversal. For when we try to force heaven’s testimony to harmonize with our scientific views and theories, we place ourselves on a level above our Creator. Heaven’s declarations make no reference to a “Big Bang,” directly or indirectly. So it will remain a theory until scientists are able to prove without a doubt that the universe is the result of a “Big Bang.” We would then be compelled to ascribe the phenomenon to our Creator—not to chance, not to a haphazard occurrence, and not to godless evolution. For those whose “scientific knowledge” attributes nothing to God in the forming of our universe, I offer the following challenge:


Explain why the “Big Bang” fashioned only round planets. Why not a few flat ones? Or a few square ones? Or a few shaped like a triangle?

An Answer From The “Laws Of Physics” Corner
It is said that the material from which our planets originated began as molten matter and gases, which assume spherical (globular, round) patterns consistent with the elementary laws of physics—that planets and stars and other heavenly bodies could not assume any other shape than globular or round, considering the laws of physics and the character of their composition.

I guess my questions at this junction, are: Who was there when the universe was composed of molten matter and gases? No one, you say? Then how can we be so sure? The Creator was there, of course, assuming the claim is sound. But who else? No one! Oh, but we speak so boldly, don’t we?

Now Hear Me Out
If the “laws of physics” are credible, and I assume they are, I will not question their validity as long as we ascribe their existence to the God of creation. Scientists claim that a liquid mass in a vacuum will assume a globular or round shape when principally acted upon by its own gravity. Again, I will not challenge the claim as long as we give our Creator the credit for its presence. I’ll put it like this:


The bone rubs when scientists resist attributing their findings to the Creator of our universe.

A mastermind must have been behind the creation of our universe and its vast array, whether by the “Big Bang” route or by any other route. There’s no other logical conclusion. And surely some maker must have made my wristwatch. To judge otherwise is to border insanity.
