How Do We Know?

How Do We Know That God Created the World?

First, we know from the testimony of the holy Scripture, as for instance from the history of the creation from the writings of Moses. We also know from many other passages of Scripture:

"By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host. . . For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast."  Psalm 33:6,9.

There are other places also, in the Psalms, and elsewhere, where the wonderful works of God are more largely spoken of, and where the principal parts of the world, which God created, are dwelt upon, in order that we may, by a proper consideration of them, be led to trust in God. (Psalm 104, 113, 124, 136 and 146)

"O LORD, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your possessions."  Psalm 104:24

"Let the glory of the LORD endure forever; let the LORD be glad in His works; He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. Let my meditation be pleasing to Him; as for me, I shall be glad in the LORD. Let sinners be consumed from the earth and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD!"  Psalm 104:31-35

"Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, for His lovingkindness is everlasting. Give thanks to the God of gods, for His lovingkindness is everlasting. Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for His lovingkindness is everlasting. To Him alone who does great wonders, for His lovingkindness is everlasting; to Him who made the heavens with skill, for His lovingkindness is everlasting; to Him who spread out the earth above the waters, for His lovingkindness is everlasting; to Him who made the great lights, for His lovingkindness is everlasting; the sun to rule by day, for His lovingkindness is everlasting; the moon and stars to rule by night, for His lovingkindness is everlasting."  Psalm 136:1-9
