For evolution to be true, the earth must be billions of years old, with life-forms on it evolving slowly over hundreds of millions of years. That seems to contradict the biblical version of creation, with God making the earth and its many life-forms rapidly and probably not all that long ago. In Genesis 1:1 the origin is clearly stated, God. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Hence: the universe is not a result of chance. At a certain moment called "the beginning," God created. Out of preexistent material? No, out of nothing. As another verse of Scripture puts it, "(He) calls into existence the things that do not exist" (Romans 4:17). Further, the universe is not a chance event, coming into existence by some kind of spontaneous generation. Rather it came from God, according to His will and purpose." But we also believe that God the Son was in it, for the New Testament account of creation (John 1) says: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." Our universe is no chance incident without reason or cause, with nothing out there but unspeakable vastness and pinpoints of light. It is rather the deed of God! At times man may seem rather small, even insignificant, in comparison with the vastness of Gods universe. Recall (Psalm 8) "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him..."
