Years ago an article was written to commemorate a milestone
anniversary of the publication of Albert Einstein's articles on the
theory of relativity. The author of the article discussed how
Einstein's theory was instrumental on the development of Quantum
Physics (QP). This is the science that studies subatomic particles
present in all atoms. (Everything is made of molecules. Some
molecules are larger than others. A water molecule is smaller than a
protein molecule. But, all molecules are formed of atoms. All atoms
are formed of subatomic particles such as: neutrons, electrons,
protons, and other particles. It is these particles that QP studies.)
These particles are so small no one has seen them. But, their
existence and presence can be calculated and measured. The thing
about these particles is that they also act like electromagnetic
waves, such as light. So, it is hard to isolate these particles to
study them. In the macro-world, if I see an object with the right
instruments I can tell you where the object is, where it is headed,
and how fast it is going. You cannot do that with these quantum
particles. They appear to be skittish. They show up and disappear.
In fact, the author of the article said that in the theory of QP you
can conclude things that contradict the law of conservation of mass -
matter cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed. In
essence, according to the author, in QP you can conclude that matter
can be created out of nothing, and he added, "This cannot be!"
Is it that hard to believe that it is possible to create matter out of
nothing? To an evolutionist it is. They believe in gradual progress
and transformation. To an evolutionist things cannot happen
immediately. The slowly develop from simple to complex, and
gradually improving. So to them God cannot speak things into being
that are complex and "good."; which is exactly what the Bible says the
Lord does. Psalms 33:9 says that "... He spake, and it was done; he
commanded, and it stood fast." The Lord spoke and the thing happened.
In Genesis chapter 1 it says that God spoke and it was so, and "He
saw that it was good." Paul says in Colossians that Christ created
all things. Let us read,
Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in
heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be
thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were
created by him, and for him:
Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
The Hebrew word for verb created - bara - refers to action by God
only. Humans can build things, make things, crate things, and form
things, but God alone can bara. Only God can create space, time,
matter, and energy - all part of the material world in which we exist.
It is all here, only because God bara-ed it. So, it should not be
hard to a Christian to believe that subatomic particles appear as if
out of nowhere. Paul adds in Hebrews 11:3,
Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed
by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of
things which do appear.
What we see, says Paul, was made out of things that were not in
existence before. God created matter out of nothing. Any Christian,
who does not believe this, is an evolutionist, not a real Christian.
We will take this a step further: if we believe that God can create
things, it should not be hard to believe that when Christ spoke for
people to be healed and resurrected, the thing happened. Anyone that
does not believe this is an evolutionist, not a real Christian. When
God speaks the thing happens; it is reality. So, when Christ says,
"you sins are forgiven," they are forgiven; for when He speaks the
thing happens; it is reality. Anyone that does not believe this is an
evolutionist, not a real Christian. Let us consider the story from
Luke 5 of the man taken by palsy. His friends let the man down the
rooftop in front of Jesus, "And when he saw their faith, he said unto
him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee" (Luke5:20). We are told in
verse 21 that, "... the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason,
saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins,
but God alone?" We read in the following verses what happened next,
Luke 5:22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said
unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
Luke 5:23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to
say, Rise up and walk?
Luke 5:24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon
earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say
unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
Luke 5:25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that
whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
Christ proved in this story that He can heal and forgive. The man
accepted that he had been forgiven; therefore it was no stretch for
him to believe he had been healed. He did not question Christ. He
did not ask for a sign. However, with one act, Christ proved to the
unbelievers that He could do the other. "...With men this is
impossible; but with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26).
Here the question is, "do we believe this is true?"
