The first verse in the Bible is a very simple one, and yet it tells us a most wonderful fact. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." We are not told exactly when God created them, save that it was in the beginning, nor how He did so, but that it was He who did it.
The Bible is not meant to teach us science, though all true science will agree with the Bible. If what we hear at any time does not do so, we may be quite sure there is something wrong with it. Facts and the Bible agree. Man's conclusions are sometimes wrong.
To know how things have taken place may be interesting. To know that God is CREATOR is necessary and important. The fact of creation—of making something out of nothing, as we say, is beyond our minds to understand; therefore God does not tell us how He created, save that "He spake and it was done." But we must believe that God is the Creator. " Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God."
If God be the Creator—and He is—we are His creatures, and therefore should believe, obey, and honor Him. "It is He that hath made us." Therefore the Bible says, "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth."
