The Work of Creation<br />

The work of creation can never be explained by<br />

science. What science can explain <strong>the</strong> mystery of<br />

life?<br />

The <strong>the</strong>ory that God did not create matter when<br />

He brought <strong>the</strong> world into existence is without<br />

foundation. In <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mation of our world, God was<br />

not indebted to pre-existing matter. On <strong>the</strong><br />

contrary, all things, material or spiritual, stood up<br />

be<strong>for</strong>e <strong>the</strong> Lord Jehovah at His voice and were<br />

created <strong>for</strong> His own purpose. The heavens and all<br />

<strong>the</strong> host of <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>the</strong> earth and all things <strong>the</strong>rein,<br />

are not only <strong>the</strong> work of His hand; <strong>the</strong>y came into<br />

existence by <strong>the</strong> breath of His mouth.<br />

"Through faith we understand that <strong>the</strong> worlds<br />

were framed by <strong>the</strong> word of God, so that things<br />

which are seen were not made of things which do<br />

appear." (Hebrews 11:3)<br />
