1. Divine creation of heaven and earth, all things are spiritual

“Everything concerning God that can be known to humanity is already evident, because God has been revealed to mankind.” [Romans 1:19]

Before the world existed, time and space did not exist, and matter and energy were nowhere to be found. Only one Duyi God exists eternally.

Time, space, matter, energy, and life are all created by this Duyi God.

The Bible records that God created the universe and all things in six days, and on the sixth day He created His masterpiece, the spirit of all things—humanity. What was the moment God created all things from nothing to something? Is it the super shock of trillions of atomic bombs exploding simultaneously? No one knows, and the Bible doesn’t say so.

How long are the six days of God’s creation each day? Is it 24 hours? No one knew, because there was no one at that time. The Bible uses “evening and morning” to distinguish each day. Some scientists have used relativity to speculate that the first day equals tens of thousands of years today, but this is clearly impossible to verify.

Given this, why do we believe the words of the Bible? Since there were no people when God created the heavens and the earth, how did the biblical authors know and record the circumstances at that time?

The Bible is a wonderful book, divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament consists of 39 books, the New Testament 27 books, totaling 66 books, with more than forty authors in total. Moreover, the oldest book of the Bible was written by Moses around 1440 BCE, while the last book of the New Testament was written by the Apostle John in 96 AD.

So the Bible spanned nearly 1,600 years.

Moreover, many Bible authors mention that God Himself told them how to write the Bible. Biblical scholars call this “revelation” or “revelation,” meaning the biblical authors were moved by God when writing and accurately recorded what God intended to say. From this perspective, God is actually the true author of the entire Bible.

这也不是自圆其说，自说自话，圣经的权威不但建立在四十多位作者横亘1600年讲述一个前后呼应和谐一致的主题，也是建立在圣经记载的众多预言后来被历史精确应验的事实上。后面会讲到这些。

摩西写下了圣经的第一本书，记载了世界的起源，就是神用六天从无到有创造出来的。   

神对摩西亲口讲了很多话，摩西据此一共写了五本圣经书。今天我们根据科学研究的发现知道，我们可以看到的物质，包括山林河川，天体星云等等，在整个宇宙中所占比例非常小，只有不到5%。还有占26.8%的是我们虽不能直接观测，但可以通过其产生的引力效应来反推其存在的暗物质。

除此之外，还有暗能量，物理学家们只能理论推导出其存在，占68.3%。所有这些都是神在六天内创造出来的，神也一并创造了若干定律，制衡宇宙间的一切有规律运转，直到今日。

我们人类中的姣姣者发现了其中一些定律，如牛顿发现了万有引力，爱因斯坦发现了相对论。但是更多的定律对人类还是奥秘，人类还在孜孜探索。这也反证了神的伟大。

In addition, the Bible records that God created another kind of being—not matter or dark matter, not energy or dark energy, not flowers, insects, birds, beasts, or humans. Scientists cannot observe or infer their existence because they are intelligent beings, with individuality, temperament, ability, and thought.

God created them first before creating humans; the number of them created by God is fixed and unchanging. Their capabilities surpass those of humans. In the Bible, they are called angels.

This is neither superstition nor fantasy. So how did God create humans? What is the relationship between humans and angels? Is human death related to angels? Next time, we will continue according to the biblical account.
