[ConfusedAndLovingIt]

When I first became a Christian I just thought God could have made the universe when and however He wanted. Then, after learning about the bible and it's divine inspiriation and trustworthness I realized, through some Christian discipleship, that the bible is very clear on the subject.

The Bible is not a record of the creation of the universe. The Bible is a record of God's creation of and dealings with this world only.

The universe is so mind-bogglingly huge (to borrow a phrase), it's bizarre to think that God would create all that just for sake of our one small world. I think in the next life we will be amazed (and humbled) to find out all the things that God has on his plate.

Sometimes I liken our attempt to understand creation and the universe to assembling a beach from a grain of sand.
