Brilliantly divine reddit - Creation: Why, How, and When Did God Create the Universe?

As noted above, Genesis 1:1 declares that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

So what is the big deal? As image bearers of God who have been given this marvelous gift of grace, we are to be a people who not only intellectually understand the how, when, and why of creation, but also to be a people in love with our Creator, who desire with every fiber of their being to glorify Him through obedience to His Word.

These facts have to translate into action and they must have an impact on how we understand and relate to God.

How Did God Create the Universe? The two perspectives on origins are diametrically opposed, thus leaving no room for positions such as Theistic Evolution to be considered a viable position on how God created the universe.
