When a believer asks where the solar system came from, if there was no creator, often the infidel will reply with a question. "Where did God come from?" That the Bible regards the existence of the Eternal Invisible God is a foregone conclusion, we do not deny. For example, the scriptures simply begin with "In the beginning God created the heavens and earth" (Genesis 1:1). Again in Exodus 3:14 the Lord God told Moses that He was "I Am," that is, the Eternal Presence. Jesus Christ of Nazareth who was Immanuel, i.e. God with us, while on the earth was and is partaker of the same divine nature; for he, too, said "I Am" (John 8:58). Also, the scriptures state concerning Jesus as the Word, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him and without him was not anything made that hath been made" (John 1:1-3).
Since the Bible regards the existence of the eternal Spirit (John 4:24) in such a manner, and whereas the "invisible things of him (God) since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and Godhead" (Romans 1:20); we affirm that it is more rational and reasonable to accept God as the Eternal Creator of all things than to accept the belief that physical matter or that matter just happened to come into existence and then it (dumb, blind matter) did the creating of all things by spontaneous generation.
To believe that the non-conscious, non-living, non-intelligent, amoral earth created man, who is a conscious, living, intelligent and moral being is totally irrational and unworthy of even being called a faith. Yet, this is exactly the position atheistic evolution holds; for it affirms that man evolved by means of one cell springing spontaneously from dead matter out of a primeval ocean; that the one cell became a worm, the worm a fish, the fish a frog, the frog a lizard, the lizard a bird, the bird a mammal, the mammal an ape and the ape a man. They they (certain atheists) claim man as the bourgeoisie (upper class) created (imagined) God as a spook to frighten the proletariat or the peasant class. Such infidels had dead matter creating not only the most remarkable organism upon this earth, man; but they also have the same dead matter creating the concept of God.
Does the vase of clay make the potter or does the potter make the vase? To answer is to state the obvious.
Therefore, we conclude the Bible position: The fact of the existence of God, the Eternal Spirit who made all things, is true, reasonable and rational. No hypopthesis man has or can devise touches the beauty and power of it side, top or bottom.
