In Colossians 1:17 we read, "And He (Jesus) is before all and in Him all things consist." In Hebrews 1:3, speaking of Jesus Christ, it says, "Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." Then, in II Peter 3:4-7 we find that the Word of God was involved in creation and the world-wide flood of Noah's day. In verse 7, the Bible says, "But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same Word are kept in store reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." To identify that word, we go to John 1:1-3, 14. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
Three keywords to look at are "consist" Col. 1:17, "upholding" Heb.1:3, and "kept" II Peter 3:7. There are certain scientific laws that keep our world and the universe going and kept in tact.
All life, both plant and animal, depends on other life to exist. Within that animal life breathes in oxygen and breathes out carbon dioxide. Plant life breathes in carbon dioxide and breathes out oxygen. Vegetarian animals derive energy from eating plants. Carnivorous animals derive energy from eating those animals. Waste from all animals, as well as their dead carcasses, fertilizes the ground from which plants derive their energy.
As the earth spins around the sun, it keeps in its orbit by two invisible laws. The gravitational pull of the sun is exactly equal to the centrifugal force of the spin of the earth. If one was greater or lesser than the other, we wouldn't be here to study or debate it. This law is true not only of our earth and sun but of all the planets and satellites in our solar system and of every star and its planetary system.
Evolutionists tell us that this is all by millions and millions of precisely timed accidents through millions and millions of years. The Bible tells us just Who is responsible, Jesus Christ, the One who came to die to pay the penalty for our sins.
