Continuing our discussion from part one, and contrary to the way that some of these hardcore, atheist scientists believe, as we have already seen, God the Father and Jesus Christ did in fact create the heavens and the Earth, and everything else as well. Here are some additional verses for your personal consideration which further prove this point:

"The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil."


"And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:"


"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands . . . For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring."


"For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen."


"But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him."


"And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"


"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."


"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;"


"For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings."


"For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God."


"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."


"For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:"


"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."


In addition to scientists who outright reject the existence of a powerful, eternal God who created all things, there are also those people who kind of go halfway. In other words, while they do believe in God, they adopt the view that while He did in fact set things in motion during the Six Days of Creation, He then ceased His creative activities after that, and all things basically continue as they were. I am reminded of the following two verses which are found in the Apostle Peter's second Epistle:

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."


Stated another way, such people seem to believe that while God did indeed create human life, animal life and plant life, since the opening chapters of Genesis, God has backed away from His creation, and those things have continued to exist, multiply and reproduce all on their own without any assistance from God whatsoever. Personally, I do not think that way. I believe that our Heavenly Father is still very much involved with humanity, as well as with all other life on Planet Earth. Furthermore, I embrace the view that just as God still creates new stars and other amazing objects in the heavens, He likewise creates a baby in a woman's womb. That fetus is NOT just the result of sexual intercourse and the biological process of a sperm uniting with an egg. I am convinced that it involves much more than that.

Let me remind you again that as I point out in articles such as "The Salvation of Animals: Fact or Fiction?", while God created Adam from the dust of the ground in a complete form, Adam didn't become a living soul until God actually breathed into him His life-giving Spirit, His life force, a spark of energy from the Eternal. It is only then that Adam became a self-aware, conscious, thinking, fully-functioning, living being. Consider the following verse:

"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."


In similar fashion, I believe that it is God who imbues the fetus in the womb with that spark of life. In fact, as you may already know, the Bible informs us that not only did God form us in our mother's womb, but He both knew us and specifically designed us before that ever occurred. If you doubt that this is so, considering the following verses:

"For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."


"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."


"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren."


"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love . . . Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will . . . In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:"


So to reiterate my previous point, personally, I believe in a very active, creative God who is still creating new things both on the Earth, and in the heavens above as well. God is not just resting on His laurels, taking an extended vacation on some kind of millennia-old Sabbath. Yes, He rested and refreshed Himself on the seventh day exactly as the Book of Genesis states. However, then He got back to work doing what He does best. As we have already discussed, I believe that all things were and are created by the Will of God, whether thousands of years ago, or today as well.

Now, for any staunch, traditional Christians who may wish to continue to insist that God stopped creating anything new millennia ago, despite the sound reasoning and Scriptural evidence I have provided in this article, allow me to share some final verses with you which state quite the contrary. All of these words were received, spoken and written long after the Six Days of Creation had been completed:

"For, behold, I CREATE NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind."


"Nevertheless we, according to his promise, LOOK FOR NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH, wherein dwelleth righteousness."


"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea . . . And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful."
