NASB | Hebrews 11:3 ¶ By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 11:3 ¶ By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. |
Bible Question (short): Is Creation a Scientific Fact? |
Question (full): "By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible." Is creation a scientific fact? Or is the above statement false? Or (to rephrase the question) since the advent of modern science, is the above statement no longer true? That is, is it true that we no longer need to understand fiat creation by faith? Will some say, "We used to (before modern science), but now we understand it because modern science has discovered that there was a creation by God's command and has explained it to us?" Creation by fiat (i.e. "prepared by the word of God") is outside the scope of scientific experimentation and speculation, and can only be understood by faith in what God in the Bible has revealed to us.
