CREATION AND THE CREATOR (Romans 1:20)
“All things have an origin, a beginning and a creation!” - Colossians 1:16
Take an object in your home, a chair for instance. Did this chair just happen by accident? Did it suddenly appear in your house? You say, “No, I bought it at a furniture shop”. But where did the chair come from? You answer, “A carpenter must have made it”. Have you seen the carpenter? Again you say, “No”. How do you know there is a carpenter? Without a carpenter the chair would not be in existence. So the fact that there is a chair proves beyond doubt that there is a carpenter who made the chair.
In the same way, when you open your eyes and see the beauties of nature. The colorful scented flowers; the stately trees; the singing birds, etc…, you cannot deny that there is an all-powerful maker (Creator - Ecclesiastes 3:11). There must have been a mastermind that made our world and universe.
In the computer industry, we know that any computer system functions according to a design and contains highly coded information. Because of the complexity of this design and the highly coded information, we attribute the origin of design in such a machine to an intelligent designer and coder. In fact, the more sophisticated the machine, the more planning and forethought we attribute to its development and the more intelligence and ability we attribute to the designer. No one would suppose that something as complex and sophisticated as a computer happened (together) by chance or by natural processes. This idea would be considered an absurd proposition. So it is with life forms on earth.
From consistent experience we also know that a creator is not the creation, but that a creator exists outside his creation. The evidence in the world around us - Colossians 1:16-17. Now, anyone can claim to be the creator, and anyone can fabricate information as if it was from the creator. One of the important things we must look for is evidence that a piece of spoken or written testimony really did come from the creator.
Written testimony from the Creator includes things like the following:
"I am the only God who ever existed or ever will. There is no other God besides me." (Isaiah 43:10); "I created the universe by myself. There was no one else with me when I did it." (Isaiah 44:24). To learn more Click Here
EVERYTHING IN NATURE IS MADE, THAT MAKER IS GOD (John 1:1-3)
The creator-God (Acts 17:24) is a great God (Psalms 92:5). He is the life from which all life comes (John 1:4); the power from which all power comes (Romans 9:17). He is the source of love (John 3:16) and wisdom (James 1:5). This great God existed before all else (1 Timothy 6:16). He never had a beginning (John 1:1), and will never have an ending (1 Timothy 1:17). There is no other God equal to Him (Isaiah 46:9).

God has given us a book (Isaiah 34:16), called the Bible, which tells, how He created the world - See Genesis 1:1 – 31 & 2:1-25. The first words in this book are: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” - Genesis 1:1.
THE CREATION HISTORY AS RECORDED IN THE BIBLE (Genesis 1-2:3)
1st day - God made light (Genesis 1:3-5).
2nd day - God made firmament and called it heaven (Genesis 1:6-8).
3rd day - God made land, grass, plants, trees (Genesis 1:9-13).
4th day - God made sun, moon, stars – galaxies (Genesis 1:14-19).
5th day - God made fish, water animals and birds (Genesis 1:20-23).
6th day - God made land animals & man-Adam & Eve (Genesis 1:24-31).
7th day - God rested, blessed and hallowed it(Genesis 2:2-3).
A lump of clay God molded and fashioned like unto His own image and breathed into it, to become a living being, Man-Adam (Genesis 1:26 & 2:7).
Then God put Adam into a deep sleep, took one of his ribs and made a woman out of it, Eve (Genesis 2:21-23 & 3:20).
Most of creation, He just spoke and it happened (Isaiah 48:3).
