Where did matter come from? We are told in Genesis 1:1 that God created it. We cannot create it because God already has—and He has suspended the creative process. This is the basis of the first law of thermodynamics, which states that total energy in a system is constant. It can change form but cannot be created or destroyed. We see that He rested from His creative work on the seventh day. He ceased creating, the Bible says; creation is no longer going on in the universe today. This of course causes a problem for evolution. Evolutionists would like to have us believe that creation is continuing. The Bible refutes it, declaring that God created, and He stopped. Whatever His creative processes were, they are no longer operative.
