The Universe Had a Beginning (Big Bang) → implies a Creator
1. The Bible affirms a beginning of the universe
Genesis 1:1 — “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
The Bible does not start with an eternal universe, but with the appearance of time, space, and matter.
God exists before time
Psalm 90:2 — “From everlasting to everlasting, You are God.”
God is not part of the universe — He exists before it.
Matter comes from the unseen
Hebrews 11:3 — “What is seen was not made out of what was visible.”
Concept: material reality comes from an invisible cause.
Creation by will
Revelation 4:11 — “By Your will they existed and were created.”
Creation is not an accident, but the result of a decision.
2. What modern cosmology says — the universe began

3. The philosophical argument of cause
Principle:
Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
Presented academically:
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy – Cosmological Argument

4. The logical connection
Scientific data:
- the universe has a beginning
- time begins at the Big Bang
Therefore the cause must be:
- beyond time
- beyond space
- immaterial
- extremely powerful
These properties correspond to the biblical description of God.
5. Conclusion
The Bible states: the universe began by the will of a Creator
Cosmology states: the universe had a real beginning
Science explains the moment
Bible explains the cause
A beginning of the universe points to an eternal and transcendent Cause — God.
