The app for independent voices

The first sentence of the Bible states this: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth….” If this is not a true statement then the truth of all that follows cannot be trusted as true. Can the truth of the “In the beginning” statement be tested independently from the statement itself? Why yes it can! Something cannot be created by itself. This is a logical impossibility. The only possibility then that avoids a creation by an outside force is an infinitively old Universe - one that has always existed. But this is a physical impossibility due to The Second Law of Thermodynamics. If our Universe were infinitely old, It would be cold (no energy left), dark and dead. We could not exist.

Now the truth of the creation by an outside force (God) does not prove the truth of the rest of the Book. But it does raise the distinct possibility that the God of The Universe is surely capable do doing anything in the Universe that follows His Creation.
