Job 11:8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? 9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
The Bible gives us the answer to the question posed in the first verse, that has boggled the minds of experts, and indeed has driven some folks to reject the authenticity of scripture, because its sacred utterances do not conform to, nor do they fit the mold that science as we know it specifies. In everything that pertains to scientific discoveries and inventions, human agents must have something to start with, whether it be the automobile, peanut butter or Bitcoin, they all have one thing in common in that preexisting raw material is a must.
But here comes the Scriptures, saying beyond the shadow of a doubt, that this is not necessarily the case with God’s creative power, for He can, and He has pulled matter into existence by just speaking it into existence. Thus, there are usually only two main responses to this fact, in that some believe it, while science as we know it utterly rejects it.
The fact that God can call solid matter into existence by just speaking it, is a mystery that finite minds will never comprehend, so the only thing one can do is to believe it or reject it. Hence the reason why Paul says in Hebrews, that if anyone desires to come to God, they must believe. It is not an authoritarian statement; it’s basically the only route that persons can take in coming to God, because man’s science cannot explain, nor account for God’s creative power.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
