There's an old fairy tale about an emperor who was tricked into thinking he had been made a suit of the finest stuff to wear. It wasn't a anything at all, but imaginary material, and he embarrassed himself by parading sans clothing through the streets.
A little child stated the obvious to the masses watching the parade, revealing to the vain emperor his folly.
The Bible clearly states the description of the beginnings of the Universe. It's right there in the first chapter of Genesis. Today we read in Revelation 4:11;
“You are worthy, O Lord,[g]
To receive glory and honor and power;
For You created all things,
And by Your will they exist[h] and were created.”
It's there from the beginning to the end of Scripture, that God created the World, and on His terms. Not ours.
Too many times we try to fit what we see into a reasonable and understandable scenario. We long for logic. We want to be pacified by the resolution of the unsolvable.
Guess what? God is beyond ALL. God will be taken by His own Word. God made the rules. God is that one who sits on the indescribable throne somewhere in the heavens above, with an emerald rainbow around Him, beyond our wildest thoughts.
When we see paradoxes we want to resolve them. It's natural. Man is "natural."
Someday we will see, and understand, more of what God is. For now we simply are asked to take Him at His Word, in faith alone. Sola Scriptura.
He made the heavens in six days. He states the lives of the patriarchs. He fashioned the matter that we are made of. His Word is true, His love is infinite.
Yes, there are things we don't get. We are pea-brained in God's eyes! Yet He loves us. All of us. No exceptions. I know He even loves the Corgi who is pawing my knee right now! (I stopped for a little kiss on her forehead)
Some things are clues of God's young earth, as the energy in the sun, the water cycles on the earth, the dust on the moon, the genetic break-down, the "irreducible complexity" of DNA. So many things if you look. So thankful for godly men like Ken Ham and Henry Morris. Also the many up-and-coming young earth scientists who are an army of godly "Convince-rs."
God made it. To question that is to say the Emperor has invisible cloth covering his nakedness.
Even a child can tell the truth.
