When we look at the two arguments of creation and how the universe came to be, we have two arguments, Creationism and the big bang or the big bang. The reason why I put the big bang into both arguments is that the Big Bang plays a big part in both. We will start with Evolution and the big bang.
Creationism VS The Big Bang
To not make all the evolutionists and Atheists upset, I will explain The Big Bang in more scientific terms. So, to begin with, The Big Bang refers to a theory and a theory only. It explains that our universe began at a specific instant in time, and the universe is expanding at a rate of 73.3 ±2.5 kilometers per second. What we have now is a universe that is filled with billions of galaxies and trillions of stars, uncountable numbers of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and clouds of dust and gas. These galaxies also move in patterns. Here are some facts about the universe we live in to help explain the complexity of it all. The closest star near us besides the sun is called Proxima Centauri which is 4.3 light-years or about 25,300,000,000,000 miles away from us. There are more than 1 quadrillion stars in the universe (Which is 1 and 24 zeros after it). On Earth, we have over 8.7 million species, and Earth is the only planet that can sustain life as we know it without having technology assist in any way. Everything is in a perfect place, and if it is moved just slightly out of concordance, this will result in complete disaster. This disaster which I am stating is the universe collapsing back to the starting point. And one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the Big Bang is the fact that we can see the universe expanding.
Now let's go to the question of what creationism is. Well, it's this. It's the belief that the universe and all living organisms originate from specific acts of a divine creator. But what's the difference between those who believe in The Big Bang and those who believe in Creationism? Well, there is none but one slight difference. Creationists believe that God created the universe through the big bang (Many Christians will hate what I just said but it's true). Many Christians will instantly deny the big bang because they think that in order to believe in The Big Bang, we must also believe in Evolution. But this article isn't about Evolution so I will not discuss that.
From all that I have said already about the universe and how it all came to be when we are asked, "If everything needs a creator then who created God?" The simple answer is this. The Bible teaches that all things CREATED need a creator. We see this in Colossians 1:16 when it says "For in him all things were created." This verse assumes that Christ created all things made and we also see that scripture speaks of Christ as being eternal and the Alpha and Omega, The beginning and the end. (Revelation 1:8, 21:6, and 22:13). These verses correspond to another name, Jehovah ("I am") which hints at His eternal nature and unending presence. So the answer to "Who created God if all things need a creator?" Is this:
The Bible teaches that all things created were created by Christ (John 1:3), for Christ, and through Christ (Colossians 1:16). That before all things (creation) He was there (Revelation 1:8, 21:6, and 22:13) and therefore it is not my burden of proof to prove a creator for I know there is a creator since we see his creation and invisible attributes and qualities (Romans 1:18-20), but it is your burden of proof to prove that there is no God.
Believing in a creator does not disqualify us from using science, logic, and truth. We use science to know and understand his creation and how it came to be. What we know from science is more evidence of a creator and more examples for the creationist to say that there is a creator. Behind all things, we can only see order and not chaos, and therefore we know from the order of all things how precise the creation is, from the human body to the universe expanding. So when a person uses "science" against you, let him make the case for you. But do not use God as an excuse not to look into new studies and what new theories are out. Study and be ready to answer why you believe and have faith in Christ.
